TRAGEDY OF LITTLE BABY ALBIE

Probe over meningitis death after hospital discharge

AN inquiry is underway after an eight-month-old baby boy died of meningitis just hours after he was discharged from hospital, his parents having been told he was suffering from tonsilitis.
The devastated parents of Albie Jago, who died last Monday, have lodged an official complaint against University College Hospital in Bloomsbury – one of the government’s flagship Foundation Trusts – and the hospital has begun its own investigation.
The parents claim the hospital’s specialist children’s accident and emergency unit was closed.
The tragedy unfolded when mother Sam Johns, who lives in Bayham Street in Camden Town, and who has worked as a cashier at the tills in Marks and Spencer’s on Camden High Street for 15 years, visited the West End to do her Christmas shopping. She noticed Albie was looking unwell.
She said: “I noticed that Albie looked very lethargic. He was clearly ill. I rang my GP but couldn’t get through so I took him to the hospital.”
