Dylan Cope died after an A&E nurse practitioner mistook his abdominal pain for flu, having ignored his GP’s referral for suspected appendicitis. His family thought she was a doctor.
A coroner found he would have survived had a senior doctor examined him.

Mr Purnell’s firm, Flint, declared no lobbying activity to Westminster’s watchdog for the period when the dinner took place.
But Flint’s website says it works with companies in the defence sector and helps clients “build their profile and influence with key decision-makers”.
The incident has been criticised by MPs across the political spectrum and has triggered accusations of corruption and “shadow lobbying”.
