An urgent court hearing has been set for Tuesday following a set of parents refusing to allow blood from Covid-vaccinated people to be used in their baby's heart surgery.
Health NZ is seeking court guardianship of the unwell four-month-old, and their lawyer flagged the urgency of this situation.
The parents' lawyer, Sue Grey, says that treating the baby is an urgent matter here, as it would be easier to treat the health issues while the baby is in a stable condition.
"It looks like over time he definitely will go downhill, and that is being treated as the priority emergency as soon as this issue can get resolved."
