'We are extremely disappointed": Parents of girl, 12, who died after hospital 'failings' vent frustration to coroner over inquest delays

Parents who are 'fighting for answers' after their daughter died following 'failings' at the Royal Manchester Children's Hospital vented their frustration after an inquest into her death was again delayed.
However, in response a coroner promised a 'full and fearless inquiry' into the death of 12-year-old Victoria Olabode.
Victoria died at the hospital in July 2019.

She suffered from sickle cell disease and had been admitted to the hospital that month with breathing difficulties.
Manchester Coroners' Court previously heard that the Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust (MFT) - which runs the hospital - has identified and accepted ‘failings’ in Victoria’s care.
An inquest into her death was due to take place today (Tuesday, February 1).
However, it was halted before it started due to an expert witness falling ill.
The hearing, which was changed to a pre-inquest review by Area Coroner Zak Golombeck, heard the witness' condition meant she would not be able to give evidence for between three and six months.
And Mr Golombeck said his office would now need to instruct a new expert pediatric neuroradiologist and consider their findings before the inquest could proceed.
However, Victoria's family expressed their anger at the latest delay.
An inquest was originally due to be held in April last year however it was delayed then after an internal investigation report by the trust was found to be 'erroneous.'
At a previous hearing, Victoria's parents said delays had left them 'traumatised' and 'stressed.'
