Thank you for your comments. We are very sorry for the death of your daughter, who had a very rare condition and was seen by a number of different health professionals. The clinicians who looked after her have met to discuss what happened and reflect upon the findings of the inquest. We are absolutely committed to learning from what happened to your daughter, and we are improving our training and clinical procedures as a direct result of her very sad death. If you would like a further opportunity to discuss any of your concerns please contact ruh-tr.PatientAdviceandLiaisonService@nhs.net
