A four-year-old girl has died from suspected meningitis after being sent home by a hospital children’s ward.
Now an investigation is under way to discover why Morgan Phelan was discharged when she had a high temperature and was suffering from a rash all over her body.
Gemma Phelan’s daughter, Morgan, was seen in A&E at Sutton Coldfield's Good Hope Hospital in the West Midlands shortly after 7pm on Thursday, January 17 and admitted at 11.30pm.
