‘In Re XY [2024] EWCOP 37 Mr Justice Hayden was called on to consider the best interests of a patient at the end of his life. XY, a 66-year-old man, was admitted to the hospital in December 2023 with pneumonia, and whilst there he suffered a cardiac arrest. Had that happened at home he would likely have died, but the medical staff at the hospital were able to resuscitate him. Over the subsequent days, however, he suffered from significant multi-organ failure and entered a prolonged disorder of consciousness.’
