A grieving mum has shared her sadness after her 12-year-old son died from kidney disease following an “unacceptable” seven-hour delay in medics administering fluids
. Brandon Dables, 12, died in April 2021 and the hospital trust has now admitted liability for his death.
Following his death Marilyn Wright, Brandon's mum, instructed specialist medical negligence lawyers at Irwin Mitchell to investigate his care and support her through an inquest. She has now joined her legal team in calling for lessons to be learned. "He started vomiting over the weekend, refusing fluids and wasn’t himself so knew I had to take him to hospital. He was a popular and much-loved student at Alfreton Park Community special school.
Medics tried to resuscitate him but he was pronounced dead at around 7.10am. Marilyn added: “When I was told that Brandon had passed I couldn’t quite believe it. Even two years on trying to come to terms with what happened remains incredibly difficult. A Patient Safety Incident Investigation report by the Hospital Trust identified “several significant” failures. These included a failure by doctors to communicate to nurses the “urgency” of getting fluids into Brandon’s body and a failure by nurses to prioritise this.
