A mother whose son died after not being given a life-saving blood test says she will "never forgive" the hospital.
Callum Cartlidge, aged eight, died after suffering a cardiac arrest at home in Redditch, Worcestershire, on 3 March 2017.
A coroner has said not giving a blood test to Callum, who had an undiagnosed rare illness, was "a failure to provide basic medical care".
The coroner said death would have been prevented if a blood test was done.
Callum, who has a twin brother, was discharged from Worcestershire Royal Hospital the day before his death with a diagnosis of gastroenteritis.
