‘They said they had no space’: Family says boy, 5, died after he was sent home from hospital

The next day, when their son’s health did not improve, they drove him to the emergency department of Rotherham General Hospital.

Mr Ahmed told Sky News that they waited all night to be seen by a doctor and after Yusuf was examined he was sent home, even though the doctor treating his nephew said “it was the worst case of tonsillitis he had ever seen”.

His nephew was struggling to breathe, could not swallow and was clearly in a distressed state, he said.
