A family have hit out after a five-year-old boy died a week after he was sent home from hospital. Yusuf Mahmud Nazir died on November 23, 2022 - eight days after he was seen by doctors and sent home with antibiotics.

Now, his family have rejected a report which found his care was appropriate and 'an admission was not clinically required'. A report into Yusuf’s NHS care was published on Thursday.

It came after his family complained that he should have been admitted and given intravenous antibiotics in Rotherham Hospital, South Yorkshire, on the night of November 15, YorkshireLive reports.

Yusuf’s uncle, Zaheer Ahmed, insisted that they were told “there are no beds and not enough doctors”. He told the PA news agency his family questioned the independence of the report and said it is missing vital details about his nephew’s treatment.
