Hospital staff appeared "terrified" when a dying 14-year-old girl was brought in for treatment, an inquest has heard.

Jessica Ashton-Pyatt, of Staffordshire, suffered from an irreparable ruptured stomach while on holiday at Butlins in Lincolnshire last October.

Witnesses at the Boston Enterprise Centre described the Boston Pilgrim Hospital's A&E department as chaotic.

United Lincolnshire Hospitals Trust apologised for the distress caused.

At the hearing on Friday, one paramedic said two of the staff in the team earmarked to resuscitate Jessica appeared "overwhelmed and terrified" by the situation.
