Five years and nine month later, Leicester University Hospitals Trust have finally  admitted causing Andrew’s death by their negligence.

Sadly they did everything they could to deny it and to delay and frustrate us. However, in the end, the reports of seven specialist consultants commissioned by us have been so overwhelmingly critical, they had no option. Frankly if it had gone to the high court they would have been faced with a major national scandal and the press would have had a field day.

A letter of apology was requested and was duly received. Although dictated by the Chief Executive Officer of the trust, it got the dates three years out, still referred to their efforts to save him (which were pathetic) and believe it or not, was actually signed by someone else in his absence!

We are now persuing the Doctors concerned through the General Medical Council and we have also asked the ministry of Justice to advise how Andrew’s death certificate can be changed from Accidental Death to a more suitable and accurate verdict.

Watch the press for developments.
