6-year-old Maya Siek died from sepsis after being discharged from Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother Hospital, with the NHS trust admitting to failures in her care.

6-year-old Maya Siek died from sepsis after being discharged from Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother Hospital in Margate, UK, despite collapsing twice during her visit. An inquest found the NHS trust made a number of failures in her care, including a failure to keep her in the hospital on the night of December 19 and to inform all members of the treating team about her sepsis diagnosis. The trust admitted to these failures but noted there was no evidence to suggest they directly caused or contributed to Maya's death.
