A spokesperson for NHS Humber Integrated Care Board, which is responsible for GP practices in North Lincolnshire, said “We would like to send our best wishes to Evie as she recovers from her operation.
“Whilst it would not be appropriate for us to comment publicly on the specifics of Evie’s care, we would welcome the opportunity to speak directly with her family to understand more about their experiences,” the spokesperson added.
Evie’s parents are lodging a formal complaint while they wait for the tumour to be analysed to find out if it is cancerous. Evie hopes to return to school, three days a week, for one hour a day.
Clare said: “I’m angry that my daughter has been allowed to suffer, but I’d say more than anything, as a mum, just trust your instincts.
“If you disagree with that doctor, fight,” she continued. “If I could go back in time, I’d camp out in A&E, but I trusted the doctors, I trusted the GPs and they got it wrong. They got it very, very wrong.”
Karl added “We went through the right channels, but it still makes you feel like I wasn’t there to protect my daughter and that’s an horrendous feeling we will live with forever.”
“People that we trusted let us down.”
