Parents Sam McNiece and Phil Crandle with Evie

Parents of a 15-month-old girl who died from sepsis reported being "left behind" by doctors after the death.

Evie Crandle died last April after being transported to Whiston Hospital in St Helens with symptoms of the disease.

Parents Phil Crandle and Sam McNiece told the Liverpool coroner's court that they had asked doctors to take into account sepsis.

But a head nurse told the court that she did not remember the parents who mentioned this disease.

The parents shook their heads when Sister Kay Archer told the court that she could not remember the parents who had expressed their concerns.

Evie was taken to the hospital in the morning but it was only later that evening that a doctor made the diagnosis.

She died two days later after being transferred to Alder Hey in Liverpool, the judicial investigation announced.

Mr. Crandle and Ms. McNiece were in tears when they told the court how many opportunities had been missed.

Ms. McNeil said, "Our lives were built around Evie … the center of our universe."

She stated that her daughter "showed all signs of sepsis, cold hands and feet, and a high temperature".

"We asked for help quickly, our daughter was dropped in the worst possible way," McNeil said.

Mr. Crandle said, "Our daughter Evie is perfect, I can not bring myself to talk about her in the past.

"You could see the beautiful person in which she blossomed, so brave and strong in the end."

He said that Whiston Hospital had not done its homework.

The survey also collected testimony from one of the first doctors to have consulted Evie, who claimed to have considered sepsis, but felt to have an "alternative diagnosis".

The investigation is continuing.
