Brain tumour patient Ashya King is ready to travel from Spain to the Czech Republic for specialist cancer treatment, according to his parents' lawyer.
Juan Isidro Fernandez Diaz said the five-year-old child could fly to Prague this weekend or by Monday at the latest to have proton beam radiotherapy - a technique not available to him on the NHS.
But the Proton Therapy Centre (PTC) told Sky News that hospital doctors in the Czech capital would make a final decision about his treatment after a meeting on Monday morning.
The boy is currently at a medical centre in Malaga after parents Brett and Naghmeh King removed him from a Southampton hospital over a week ago without doctors' consent.
Proton Therapy Centre (PTC) spokeswoman Iva Tatounova PTC spokeswoman Iva Tatounova said: "Czech doctors will review documents from Malaga about the current status of the boy and will be able to say 'Yes he is capable of travelling to Prague.'"
It comes after a British judge ruled the youngster could be transported from Spain for the treatment.
Mr Diaz said: "He is in perfect condition to travel," adding that the boy was playing with his family and his toys.
He said the parents were "really happy" with the judge's decision and the British court has been "really nice with us".
The boy will stay at a children's hospital near the PTC which carries out the treatment, he added.
The couple had been detained in Spain under a European arrest warrant issued by UK authorities before it was withdrawn following a public outcry and the pair were released.
The judge Mr Justice Baker approved the Kings' request on Friday to have Ashya moved to Prague.
The family's lawyer Juan Isidro Fernandez Diaz speaks to reporters A lawyer representing bosses at Southampton General Hospital told the judge that doctors aimed to provide chemotherapy but not proton beam.
Vikram Sachdeva said such treatment could not be provided in Britain.
The judge said he had been told specialists at the PTC had considered a treatment plan.
And he said he had seen evidence of the treatment planned, evidence of plans to fly Ashya to Prague and evidence that Mr and Mrs King could afford the cost of treatment and transport.
The judge said he would cease to have responsibility for Ashya once the youngster arrived at the Czech hospital.
