A mother is on telephone to NHS 111 for 60 minutes. There is no answer. Her child stops breathing while she is on the call. She had been to her GP. There is a seven week history of headaches and vomiting. The child dies in hospital.
Another child is waiting for a liver transplant, unwell for five days. The parents did not bring the child to hospital believing exposure to coronavirus brought added risk. The child suffers liver failure and blood poisoning. The child dies in the district general hospital.
There are phone consultations with a GP over a child with fever, vomiting and diarrhoea. Eventually the child is brought to hospital after suffering seizures. The severely ill child has lost half their red blood cells and is suffering profound kidney failure. Only with emergency renal support does the child improve.
