"Also according to CGF, GOSH's proposal was in line with the MNetters here who know about transfer teams: that C would arrive home and be extubated about an hour later."
Which is clearly not what the parents want. As regards the legal side, Charlie has a Guardian -- so given that previously the judge said Charlie could not be removed from GOSH without his explicit order, if/when he is moved now, who has legal responsibility? Does the Guardian continue in place? Does the court assume responsibility? If private staff were hired to provide care, what is their legal position? Has there been another case like this one in the UK??? I think it has already been explained elsewhere (many thanks for the specialist knowledge!) that even in a parents home, the hospital/transfer staff are still responsible for the care of their patient, even/especially when that care is end of life care.
I just want to see that Charlies interests are protected, right to the end. I think the Guardian, GOSH, and the judge have that, but what a course they need to try and steer!
But I am very grateful for the information that has been provided on here as to how such situations are usually handled nowadays. As I said before, very different to what my mother had to got through, and I think it is in the public interest to understand exactly how far we have come as regards compassionate end of life care. I am full of respect for the NHS staff who have to navigate these issues on a daily basis.
