Health Secretary Requests Review of Yusuf Nazir's Case After Family's Appeal

The family of Yusuf Nazir, who died following a hospital visit, meets with the Health Secretary to demand a new investigation into his care.

Yusuf Mahmud Nazir, a five-year-old boy, died after being sent home from Rotherham Hospital with antibiotics, leading to his family's call for a fresh inquiry.
The Health Secretary, Victoria Atkins, has agreed to ask NHS England's chief to review Yusuf's case, following a meeting with the boy's family.
An initial NHS report deemed Yusuf's care appropriate, but his family and witnesses have raised concerns about the circumstances of his care.
Witnesses described the night Yusuf was in the emergency department as 'truly horrific,' with claims of inhumane treatment and neglect.
The family seeks an honest, fair investigation by a completely independent body, rejecting the initial report as not independent and lacking in evidence.
