Alfie Evans latest: Last ditch Italy attempt by family and lawyers
Alfie Evans’ family lawyer has asked the judge presiding over an urgent appeal to allow him to be treated abroad if all else fails.
Alfie’s family has requested the brave 23-year-old be allowed to travel to Italy, where a Vatican-run children’s hospital has vowed to treat him.
But doctors and judges in Britain have so far determined the best thing for Alfie, who was diagnosed with an incurable neurological condition in 2016, is for the toddler to be allowed to pass away.
Today an urgent appeal is being heard in a Manchester court over whether Alfie can be flown to Italy for further treatment.
