It doesn't sound as if there is anything particularly new in this new legal attempt from what has been said in the press so far.

"In December, they said Bambino Gesu would give Alfie a tracheotomy and a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) to allow him to be fed through his stomach.
But Alder Hey's hospital trust argues that Bambino Gesu has a similar belief that care for Alfie should be palliative."

palliative care
noun
noun: palliative care
care for the terminally ill and their families, especially that provided by an organized health service.
