"At this moment it is important to remember that all involved in these agonising decisions have sought to act with integrity and for Charlie's good as they see it."
The Bishops added that the "professionalism, love and care for severely ill children consistently shown at the Great Ormond Street Hospital is also to be recognised and applauded."
