Tragic baby with meningitis was neglected by hospital trust after 'individual and systemic failures'

A hospital trust failed to provide basical medical care to an infant who died from meningitis, a coroner has ruled.
Kingsley Olasupo, who was born alongside his twin sister Princess, was just ten-days-old when he died at the Royal Bolton Hospital on April 18, 2019, after being diagnosed with bacterial meningitis and sepsis.
