Mental capacity law

NHS South East London Integrated Care Board v JP & Ors

It is not in JP's best interests to continue to receive clinically-assisted nutrition and hydration (CANH). The treatment is futile, burdensome, and inconsistent with JP's values and wishes as reliably ascertained from his children and late partner. The medical evidence is clear that JP is in a permanent vegetative state with no prospect of recovery, and continued CANH would only prolong his current condition without benefit. The court is satisfied that withdrawal of CANH is lawful and appropriate.
