A schoolboy from Northampton faces another gruelling operation after delays in NHS treatment meant a special hole he needs in his abdomen healed over.
Cohen O?Dell, aged eight, has had to wear nappies at school after the hole for a special catheter healed over while he waited more than three hours at Northampton General Hospital?s emergency department.
It followed attempts from 7.30am until 1pm to get GPs, paramedics or hospital doctors to reinsert the device which he wears because of his multiple disabilities.
His mum, Alice O?Dell, who is deaf, has complained to the hospital through the Deafconnect advocacy service.
