An investigation has been launched into the "tragic" death of a five-year-old girl in Canberra Hospital, the Health Minister says.
The death of the young girl has been referred to the ACT Coroner who will determine whether an inquest is needed.
The child was taken to the hospital on July 4 when a number of tests were carried out. It is understood there was a decision made to transport the girl to Sydney but she died before this could happen.
