A four-year-old girl born with severe health issues died after a problem with her feeding pump in the middle of the night, an inquest heard.
Amelia Louise Edwards from Sutton Weaver, Runcorn, had a rare genetic condition which meant her blood sugar needed to be maintained at a certain level during the night. However she died on April 8, 2021, despite the best efforts of her parents and paramedics and medics at Whiston Hospital and Alder Hey Children's Hospital to save her.
It later emerged her feeding pump had not been working despite appearing to be functioning, and no loud "bleep" had sounded to alert her parents to any problem.
