Connie Yates and Chris Gard had hoped to take their son, who has a rare genetic condition, home to spend his final hours as their “last wish”. It has suggested that he should be removed from life support within hours of being transferred to a hospice. The judge, Mr Justice Francis gave the parents until Thursday to find a team that could support Charlie for the days they are looking to spend with him at a hospice. “Unless by 12pm tomorrow the parents and guardian and Great Ormond Street hospital can agree alternative arrangements, Charlie will be transferred to a hospice and extubated shortly thereafter,” he said. But the case was back in court on Tuesday as Gosh and Charlie’s parents again found themselves at odds, this time over where he should spend his final hours.
