A mum claims her son was diagnosed with "tissue damage" and sent home from an A&E department without an X-ray despite having a broken leg.

Stacey Jennings said her son Robert, aged two, was in a lot of pain after injuring himself while playing with his cousin, so she took him to Diana, Princess of Wales Hospital in Grimsby.

The mum claims that, after waiting in the A&E until it was almost empty, staff touched the bottom of his foot, diagnosed his injury as "tissue damage" and told her to give him paracetamol at home to relieve his pain.

Stacey told GrimsbyLive that her son was still in severe pain and suffering at home, and his broken leg wasn't discovered until the next day when his grandmother took him back to the hospital.
