A report into the hospital treatment given to a child who died two days after her first birthday has revealed 'delays' in elements of her care - and made recommendations to ensure signs of septic shock are spotted earlier.
'Bubbly' Maddison Rose Patricia Halliday was rushed by ambulance to North Manchester General hospital on October 20 last year after becoming feverish at home. She died the following day after being transferred to the Royal Manchester Children's Hospital.
An inquest into her death has not been held. But a clinical case review of the hospital treatment she received has revealed that she contracted sepsis after suffering an ear infection - and that communication issues, 'compounded' by logistical problems - occurred during her treatment.
