The parents of an 11-month-old girl who died in hospital after she was let down by a gross failure to provide basic medical care and injected with five times the required dose of an anti-seizure drug have vowed to take legal action.
Sophie Burgess was given a lethal amount of phenytoin, despite the complaints of a nurse who said it was both unnecessary and against protocol.
The baby had initially been taken to St Peter s Hospital in Chertsey, Surrey on June 16 2016 following a seizure, for which she was given phenytoin.
But the child, described by her parents as a happy baby, always smiling , vomited, went into cardiac arrest, and died three hours later.
