Lila Marsland was examined by various medics over several hours at Tameside Hospital in Ashton-under-Lyne, Greater Manchester, on 27 December 2023.

A jury at her inquest ruled Lila's death was contributed to by hospital neglect.

Ms Mincherton, of Hyde, Greater Manchester, took Lila to the hospital's A&E after finding her lethargic, with a headache and a worryingly fast heartbeat, the inquest heard.

About nine hours after arrrival, Lila was discharged from the observation ward and sent home with her mother.

A jury at Manchester South Coroner's Court returned a narrative conclusion, finding that Lila died of natural causes and the cause of death was meningitis.
