Jack Adcock death: Medics deny boy's manslaughter

A doctor called off attempts to save a six-year-old boy because she mistakenly believed he had a "do not resuscitate" order, a trial has heard.

Jack Adcock of Glen Parva died after being admitted to Leicester Royal Infirmary with pneumonia in 2011.

Dr Hadiza Bawa-Garba, who denies manslaughter due to negligence, had mixed him up with another patient, Nottingham Crown Court was told.

Two nurses also deny charges of manslaughter by gross negligence.
