Teen Died In Hospital ‘In Advanced State of Starvation After Sub-Par NHS Care’
23rd July 2025
An autistic 17-year-old girl died after being admitted to hospital in “an advanced state of starvation”, a coroner has said. The teen died on May 5 2024, having been taken to A&E at Cramlington’s Northumbria Specialist Emergency Care Hospital on April 30.

Senior Coroner Hetherington has subsequently issued a “prevention of future deaths” notice in which the girl’s name has been redacted. He has highlighted seven areas where in his view improvements are required. NHS organisations have admitted the care the girl received was “not at the standard anyone would expect”.
How about that great government-provided health care system? Don’t you wish we had such a system in the U.S.?
Don’t worry, ‘Obamacare’ was just the first step….
