A BOY of 17 died of sepsis while his mum waited eight hours for a call back from NHS 111, an inquest heard yesterday.
Cyrus Perry was put to bed with a sick bucket, as the call was expected in 20 minutes.
When 111 finally rang back the next morning, mum Hayley Perry found him dead in his room.
The teenager, of Sturminster Marshall, Dorset, died from sepsis and group A strep, post mortem tests showed.
Mrs Perry said the death of her son was preventable and she felt “let down” by the system.
She added that Cyrus’ twin brother Reuben was angry at her and the system for “taking away his soulmate”.
She said: “I have concerns about NHS 111, I feel the death was preventable.
“I feel let down by NHS 111, I clearly informed them Cyrus was too unwell to get to hospital.
“This will haunt me for the rest of my life.
“I put my faith and trust in the system.”
The inquest continues.
