The instincts of the mother of a 5-year-old boy who died after he was sent home from the emergency department were “repeatedly not addressed across services”, a report has concluded.

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