Dylan Cope had initially been rushed to A&E with suspected appendicitis, but discharged three days later.
A young boy died just days after he was discharged from hospital, a pre-inquest review has heard. Dylan Cope was just nine when he died on December 14, 2022.
Although the review did not hear any details about Dylan’s symptoms, a statement given to WalesOnline by the Cope family’s lawyers told how he was rushed to A&E by his GP for “suspected appendicitis”. In a statement, the legal team representing the family told WalesOnline that Dylan was discharged on December 7 with the advice to take ibuprofen and information about coughs and colds. However, the statement said Dylan was later diagnosed with a ruptured appendix and sepsis when he eventually returned to hospital on December 10.
"His condition did not improve and, on 10 December 2022, his father, Laurence Cope rang the emergency number on the A&E discharge sheet. He was advised to contact NHS 111. While waiting for a call back from NHS 111, Dylan’s condition deteriorated so his father took him back to A&E. He was transferred to University Hospital of Wales by ambulance but four days later, Dylan died in hospital.
