Muhammad Ayaan Haroon's family demand a second investigation following the death of their son, five, at Sheffield Children's Hospital.
NHS South Yorkshire apologised to Ayaan’s family for the ‘distress they have experienced’ surrounding his death The family of a five-year-old boy who died in hospital say they heard staff laughing nearby as his life support was switched off. Muhammad Ayaan Haroon died on March 13, eight days after being admitted to Sheffield Children’s Hospital with breathing problems.
While this did not constitute ‘systemic or individual harassment or victimisation’, staff did not find out if the family had any specific cultural wishes regarding Ayaan’s last rites and the management of his body. The absence of this from the NHS trust’s police ‘may be seen as indirectly discriminatory’, the report said. Of 736 complaint points submitted by Ayaan’s family, investigators upheld 307 points, partly upheld 171, did not uphold 174 and could not substantiate 61 points.
