An official report says the call handling system - used by the NHS 111 out-of-hours phone line - has a limited ability to pick up illnesses in rapidly deteriorating children. It follows the death of 12-month-old William Mead, who died from blood poisoning following a chest infection. NHS call handlers failed to recognise how ill he was, when William's Mum Melissa called one night, just before Christmas 2014. The report said if a doctor - rather than a call handler - had heard William's cries they would have realised he needed urgent attention. But he wasn't admitted to hospital. Instead, the call handler stuck to a script of questions they had been trained to ask.

Councillor Chris Boothby has been out with our reporter Jo Hollis in his home village of Ratby.
