The family of a 5-year-old boy who died after he was sent home from A&E believe his death was a result of systems failures across two hospitals and other services, their lawyers have told a coroner.

Yusuf Mahmud Nazir died at Sheffield Children’s Hospital on 23 November 2022, 8 days after he was seen at Rotherham Hospital and sent home with antibiotics.
