A three-year-old child died after its desperate mother spent more than an hour on hold to the NHS 111 helpline.
The ill child suffered a cardiac arrest at its home and died in hospital, according to details of critical incidents affecting children in London amid the coronavirus crisis.
Another case saw a six-month-old die from sepsis and liver failure because the parents feared the child could catch Covid-19 in hospital, the Evening Standard reports.
Doctors have raised concerns that parents are not seeking treatment for their children amid the outbreak.
