Eight-week-old baby dies hours after being turned away from A&E

An eight-week-old baby died after medics in A&E told her mother to "bring her back tomorrow."

Felicity George had a high temperature and was not feeding when her parents decided to bring her to a hospital in Dudley, West Midlands. Emma and Lee George were told to bring their daughter back tomorrow. The next morning, Felicity had turned blue and was not breathing. She died on May 29 due to an infection that had likely been caused by sepsis, brought on pneumonia. Speaking to Stourbridge News, mum Emma said that she trusted the advice of the doctor, but the next morning, her "world was shattered."

"We called an ambulance and they took her to hospital, where they did all they could, but she was gone. I have never felt so lost and broken in my life."

Emma and Lee have lodged a complaint with Dudley CCG. They believe that more tests during the initial hospital visit could have saved their daughter's life. The couple do not want anyone to go through the same experience. "You never think anything will happen to your children," they said.
