Inquest hears that girl who endured six-hour A&E wait may have survived if seen by doctors.
Makenna-Rose Thakcray was diagnosed with scarlet fever, caused by the bacterial infection Strep A, on 9 December 2022
The child's mother took her home after a six-hour wait and said staff had not encouraged her to stay. A nurse who had been on shift that night said they had encouraged them to remain in the children's A&E. There was a Strep A outbreak across the UK in late 2022, with pharmacists across the country reporting a widespread shortage of penicillin.
Dr Nadel said: "If she was sent to paediatricians, she would have had a full set of observations recorded. On whether sending Makenna-Rose to a paediatrician would have saved her life, Dr Nadel said it was "difficult to say".
