Overview

• Wirral University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust has launched an external review into the circumstances of Robert Green’s discharge from Arrowe Park Hospital’s A&E department.
• The family say a doctor diagnosed him with a muscle injury without ordering a chest x-ray despite his persistent pain and breathing difficulties.
• Robert Green, an autistic 14-year-old who loved gaming and was hailed as a devoted big brother, collapsed at home five hours after leaving A&E and was later pronounced dead.
• His funeral is scheduled for August 22 at Landican Cemetery, followed by a purple-themed wake at Beechwood Social Club with a biker escort from the family home.
• A GoFundMe appeal organised by family friend Alan Norris has raised nearly £7,000 to help cover funeral expenses.
