{{Case
|Date=2019/05/22
|NCN=[2019] EWCOP 18
|Court=Court of Protection
|Judges=MacDonald
|Parties=A Clinical Commissioning Group, P, TD
|Sentence=Withdrawal of CANH
|Summary="Having given anxious consideration to this very sad case, and with profound regret, for the reasons set out above I am satisfied this court should declare that P lacks capacity to make decisions regarding CANH. Further, in circumstances where I have concluded that P lacks capacity to decide for herself whether or not to continue to receive CANH, I am satisfied that it is in P's best interests to consent on her behalf to the withdrawal of that treatment, a step that I acknowledge will result in her death. ... In all the circumstances, I am satisfied that the sanctity of P's life should now give way to what I am satisfied was her settled view on the decision before the court prior to the fateful day of her overdose in April 2014."
