Mum given paracetamol overdose while in hospital for pneumonia

A mum who was admitted to Whiston hospital with sickness and pneumonia was given too much paracetamol during her stay.

Laura Higginson died two weeks later from multi-organ failure, sepsis and Gitleman's syndrome - a rare genetic condition.
