Inquest Reveals Delayed Pain Relief in 13-Year-Old's Sepsis Death

Chloe Longster's parents claim her death was preventable, as hospital treatment was allegedly delayed, leading to fatal sepsis.

Chloe Longster, 13, died from sepsis after being admitted to Kettering General Hospital with severe pain and cold-like symptoms.
Her mother testified that Chloe's pain relief was consistently delayed, causing the child to suffer unbearable pain.
An A&E consultant initially believed Chloe had a chest infection and did not suspect sepsis due to the absence of key diagnostic markers.
Chloe was diagnosed with influenza A only after being moved to a side room, highlighting alleged lapses in her care.
The inquest continues at Northampton Coroner's Court, with Chloe's parents seeking accountability for what they describe as a preventable death.
