Martha Mills died in 2021 after developing sepsis while under the care of King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust in south London.
The Government has committed to introducing Martha’s rule in England’s hospitals to give patients the right to a second opinion if they believe their concerns are being dismissed by NHS staff.
Ms Mills said: “I met with the Secretary of State for Health yesterday and welcome the news that he will introduce Martha’s rule across NHS England hospitals.“It will be one standardised and recognisable right that will become part of patients’ experience on hospital wards. Martha died in 2021 after developing sepsis while under the care of King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust in south London.
An inquest heard there were several opportunities to refer Martha to intensive care but this did not happen. The trust has since apologised for mistakes in Martha’s care. She also developed a rash, with her mother voicing her concerns to staff that Martha would go into septic shock over a bank holiday weekend.
