Summary
This article tells the story of two-year-old Chloe, who died after hospital staff failed to recognise that she had meningitis, sending her home after her parents first took her to A&E. The NHS Trust carried out an internal investigation which identified many areas where care should have been better and set out a range of recommendations for improving care of children in A&E in the future. The Trust only apologised to the family after an out-of-court settlement was made.
