A seven-month-old baby died after being refused access to a notorious hospital because the A&E department closed at night and the children's ward was dealing with an emergency.
Holly Waters lived just two and-a-half miles from Stafford Hospital, but had to be driven 22 miles to a second hospital by paramedics.
Yesterday her devastated parents told how the infant died just two minutes before arriving at the University Hospital of North Staffordshire in Stoke-on-Trent 49 minutes after paramedics had first reached her.
Seven-month old Holly Waters died after being refused access to Stafford Hospital because its A&E department is shut at night and the children's ward was full.
The family called 999 after Holly's mother, Charlotte Waters, discovered her unconscious in her cot.
Up to that point Holly had been a normal, healthy baby.
