Parents of boy, 4, who died of sepsis after doctors told them to give him Calpol win compo claim
THE parents of a boy who died of sepsis after doctors told them to give him Calpol have received an apology and compensation.
Daniel Klosi, four, was repeatedly sent away from hospital despite his family’s desperate pleas for blood tests.
Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust has now agreed to pay the family an undisclosed out-of-court settlement and has apologised.
Mum Lindita Alushi, 44, said: “We take some comfort from finally having an apology from the trust, but remain hurt at the length of time it has taken.”
She and Daniel’s dad Kastriot Klosi, 51, took their son to the North London hospital four times during the week before his death.
On two of those occasions they were sent home with instructions to give him Calpol and ibuprofen.
Only after the family visited hospital twice in a day and waited four hours in A&E was he admitted in April 2023.
But Daniel, from Kentish Town, died a few hours later.
Investigators found staff did not read his medical records on one visit.
An inquest heard they did not order blood tests or give intravenous antibiotics.
The hospital said: “We are deeply sorry that Daniel died while under our care.”
