Two-year-old Ava Hodgkinson died from Strep A when the medication she needed was out of stock
The parents of a two-year-old year old girl who died of a common infection have called for change after an antibiotic shortage meant she couldn't get the medication she needed.
But when Adam went to Banks Pharmacy to collect the prescription he was told the correct dosage was also out of stock. This week, an inquest held in Preston heard that the government is "actively considering" making changes to legislation which would allow pharmacists to dispense alternative denominations of medications, if that which was originally prescribed isn't available.
“There are not enough words to express the magnitude of pain and devastation we feel as a family at the loss of our beautiful daughter, Ava Grace," they said. Ava's parents were supported and represented by specialist medical negligence lawyers throughout the inquest process.
