A coroner is to write to a GP surgery and a hospital demanding action after a toddler died of leukaemia – despite the family asking for help up to 35 times.
Black Country coroner Zafar Siddique said lessons must be learned from the death of Ryan Bhogal. The 20-month-old died on September 11 last year.
He passed away just two days after he was admitted to Birmingham Children’s Hospital having finally been diagnosed with leukaemia by doctors at New Cross Hospital in Wolverhampton.
Ryan’s inquest heard of repeated failings to spot so-called “red flag markers” of leukaemia which was missed by doctors at New Cross and the city’s Raynor Road Medical Centre.
