The grieving parents of a six-year-old boy who died due
to negligent care said that 'life is now empty' after the doctor and nurse
responsible were convicted of manslaughter.
Doctor Hadiza Bawa-Garba and nurse Isabel Amaro were both
found guilty of manslaughter by gross negligence for failures that led to the
death of Jack Adcock at Leicester Royal Infirmary.
The doctor had decided not to resuscitate the boy, who
had Down's Syndrome, because she got him confused with a patient she saw
earlier in the day who had a 'no not resuscitate' order on them.
After the verdict, his mother Nicola said: 'Our life now
is empty, painful and will never be the same again.'
