Synopsis

On 8 December last year, a ten-year-old boy from Stockport, Nicholas Geldard , died in a Leeds hospital. He had fallen ill the previous afternoon while playing on his computer at home. In his last hours he was taken to four different hospitals; refused an intensive care bed at four others - and denied access to one hospital's scanner because there was no cash to run the equipment at night.
