Indi Gregory's parents Dean Gregory and Claire Staniforth wanted medical care to continue, but hospital bosses requested the judge rule doctors could lawfully limit her treatment.

The parents of a seriously ill baby have lost a High Court battle to keep their child on life-support treatment. Seven-month-old Indi Gregory, who is being treated in Queen's Medical Centre in Nottingham, has a mitochondrial disease - a genetic condition which saps energy from the body's cells.

'We cannot get away from that fact as sensitive as it may be. All realistic options have been exhausted.' She said nurses were 'watching Indi suffer' and added: 'This has been looked at nationally, it has been looked at internationally. 'Sadly, the conclusions are that nothing further can be done.' Indi's father had told Mr Justice Peel his daughter had 'proved everyone wrong' and needed 'more time'.
