A mother-of-six with learning disabilities could be sterilised after health authority and social services bosses asked a judge for permission to force entry into her home, restrain her and take her to hospital.

The woman, who is in her 30s, has had her children removed from her care and authorities say she has physical health problems which could put her life in danger if she became pregnant again.

A judge at the Court of Protection in London examined the case last week at a two-day public hearing.

Authorities have said the moves are in the woman's best interests.
