Alder Hey Children's Hospital was cleared of blame following the tragedy of a sick child classified as a 'low priority' by medics - but who then collapsed and died.
The parents of four-year-old Ronaldo Iosif became worried when he developed a high temperature and took him to the hospital's A&E department, where he was initially assessed pending a full medical examination.
However, because his temperature was not considered to be at an emergency level, he was placed in the lowest "green" priority. This meant he could face a wait of several hours in the busy A&E department before being seen by a doctor.
