| The story of Charlie Gard | |
| Parents, Connie Yates and Chris Gard, and GOSH had until 12:00 BST to agree Charlie's end-of-life care. However, an agreement was not reached by the noon deadline. | |
| The parents' lawyer, Grant Armstrong said they wanted to spend days with Charlie at a hospice before his death. | |
| But hospital bosses said they could not agree to the arrangement as his parents had not found a hospice or a paediatric intensive care specialist. | |
| The High Court order says Charlie will continue to be treated in hospital for a "period" of time before being moved to the hospice, which cannot be named for legal reasons. | |
| It says doctors can then withdraw "artificial ventilation" after a period of time. | |
| Everyone involved has agreed that the "arrangements" will "inevitably result in Charlie's death within a short period thereafter", the order adds. | |
