Speaking outside court, Jack Adcock's mum Nicola (pictured right) said: "The past four and a half years have been incredibly difficult, having to relive what happened on that day and we have been pushed to our limits.

“We’ve always believed somebody needed to be held accountable for what happened.

“The guilty verdicts will bring us some closure but the void in our lives will remain.”

Here's more from the LRI's Andrew Furlong following the guilty verdict handed to Dr Hadiza Bawa-Garba. 

"Following Jack's death we carried out a full investigation and have implemented a number of improvements to our systems and processes which have reduced the risk of such events occurring again.

“These events have ended the career of a promising young doctor.  Whilst this event is tragic and will concern people who may need to use our hospitals it is not reflective of the care we provide or the dedicated hard working staff who work for us."

Andrew Furlong, interim medical director at the University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust, said: “The events of 18 February 2011 resulted in the death of a child and a family trying to come to terms with both their loss and the experiences of the past four years.

“We cannot bring Jack back and under the circumstances saying sorry does not seem enough. Nevertheless, we are deeply sorry and would like to again send our condolences to the Adcock family."

Six-year-old Jack, who had a heart condition, was admitted to the Leicester Royal Infirmary with pneumonia but died 11 hours later from a cardiac arrest.

It was caused by sepsis triggered by a bacterial infection.

The trial had heard the boy's death was caused by "serious neglect". Staff failed to recognise his body was "shutting down" and close to death, the prosecution claimed.
