The case of a dying woman who was not consulted before a
"do not resuscitate" notice was placed in her medical records is due
to be heard in the Court of Appeal.
Janet Tracey, who had terminal lung cancer,
died in hospital in Cambridge three years ago. Her family are pushing for a
national policy about how the notices should be used in the NHS in England.
Addenbrooke’s Hospital says its doctors acted in Mrs Tracey's best interests.
