A dad of a seven-year-old who has died in a spate of Strep A infections among kids has reportedly claimed that antibiotics could have saved her.
Hanna Roap, from Penarth, south of Cardiff, is one of six children who have died in a rise in cases of a rare invasive Group A Strep in recent months especially in children under 10.
Group A strep bacteria can cause many different infections, ranging from minor illnesses to deadly diseases and includes the skin infection impetigo as well as scarlet fever or strep throat.
