First Charlotte’s, now Luke’s fate will be decided in courts

The fate of a seriously ill baby will be decided in the courts, hospital chiefs confirmed yesterday.

Nine-month-old Luke Winston-Jones, from Holyhead in North Wales, was given only days to live after he was diagnosed shortly after birth with the genetic disorder Edwards Syndrome.

For most of his life he has been treated at Gwynedd Hospital in Bangor, North Wales, but he was recently transferred to Alder Hey Children’s Hospital in Liverpool.
