A (by his mother and litigation friend, B) (claimant/appellant) v North Central London Integrated Care Board (defendant/respondent)
Thursday 6 March 2025
The Appellant appeals the order of MacDonald J dated 23 October 2024, sitting in the Administrative Court, by which he (in a rolled-up hearing), granted permission on grounds 1 and 2 and allowed the judicial review challenge on ground 1 only.
The Appellant is a severely disabled 11-year-old boy.. He has a rare disorder that is life threatening and life limiting. He is eligible for NHS Children and Young People’s Continuing Care (a package of care provided by the NHS by reason of the intensity of a child’s health needs) and has been in receipt of such care since 25 June 2015.
The Respondent is the North Central London Integrated Care Board and is the responsible commissioner. Its Children’s Complex Care Team commissions individualised care for children with complex health needs that cannot be met by the NHS’s universal, and specialist commissioned services.
The Appellant brought a judicial review challenge regarding the Respondent’s alleged breach of its duty concerning the Appellant’s health care plan and the decision to terminate the then current registered care provider’s contract.
