SUNDAY MAIL EXCLUSIVE: The 10-year-old died after contracting a rare infection but new documents show medics held emergency meetings discussing it and never told her parents.
Health chiefs held emergency meetings about an infection which contributed a 10-year-old girl’s death but failed to tell her parents.
Her family believe the bug came from contaminated water at the hospital which caused a line feeding drugs into her body to become infected. Due to the criminal investigation, Milly’s family said they couldn’t comment but a friend of the family told the Sunday Mail: “The health board should be ashamed. They knew all along Milly had Stenotrophomonas maltophilia but didn’t think to inform her family, despite discussing it among themselves for weeks.”
