Charlie Gard parents upset by ‘backlash’ over Great Ormond Street death threats

Written by on 23/07/2017

Charlie Gard’s parents say they are "extremely upset by the backlash" they experienced after it was revealed hospital staff had received death threats.

Connie Yates and Chris Gard said they "do not and have not ever condoned any threatening or abusive remarks" towards staff members at Great Ormond Street Hospital, where their terminally ill son is being treated.

On Saturday, GOSH said it had contacted police following death threats and a "shocking and disgraceful tide" of hostility and disturbance both in the street and at the London medical facility.
