Overview

• The July 31 report by Peter Carter found Yusuf’s mother’s concerns were repeatedly not addressed, eroding trust and shared decision-making across services
• Investigators identified 23 separate healthcare contacts across four organisations with no single coordinated record, leading to disjointed paediatric care
• The report calls for parental intuition to be treated as valid evidence in assessments and endorses piloting Martha’s rule for urgent second opinions
• Health Secretary Wes Streeting and national director Aidan Fowler have accepted the report’s 16 recommendations and urged NHS trusts to implement its reforms
• Yusuf’s family, supported by Bindmans solicitors, has demanded a coroner’s inquest to establish accountability and resolve lingering questions
