Three-year-old Ryleigh Hillcoat-Bee died after doctors at Blackpool Victoria Hospital 'missed opportunities' to diagnose a rare condition
The parents of a three-year-old girl who died after doctors "missed opportunities" to diagnose a rare condition have vowed to sue the hospital where she was treated.
Despite medical colleagues from Leeds advising further investigation into her symptoms, this was not followed up by hospital staff in Blackpool, the inquest heard. Representing the parents, Diane Rostron, a medical negligence solicitor, said: “The hospital was given clear advice from colleagues in Leeds during Ryleigh’s admission in August 2021 to seek specialist advice from a neuromuscular specialist.
“Ryleigh died on 8th November 2021 just three months after being discharged at the very hospital where she was born a little over three years earlier.
