Hospital apology 'will never be enough'

A mother from Essex says she'll never completely forgive Colchester Hospital after it failed to spot meningitis in her daughter.

After admitting liability the hospital paid out £5.5m in compensation to the family - the case was one of more than 1,300 claims against Essex NHS trusts for medical negligence in the last five years a ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Freedom of Information request has found.

Ellie's mum, Sarah Sutton, says despite the hospital's apology, it'll never be enough.
