By Claire SmythIf doctors had tested a nine-year-old girl's blood sooner they may have changed the treatment she received before her death, an expert witness has confirmed to a medical tribunal.Claire died at the Royal Belfast Hospital for Sick Children in 1996.caused by negligent care.The General Medical Council said one of the doctors involved in Claire's care, Dr Heather Steen, acted dishonestly in trying to conceal the circumstances of her death.
The MPTS heard from a defence expert witness on Monday who said doctors not checking the sodium levels in Claire's blood earlier was a "significant failure" in her care. "There should have been more attention to her fluids and electrolytes on the day after admission. Whether that would have altered the final outcome I don't know but certainly it would have been sensible to do that," he said.
Dr Mann confirmed that if new blood tests had been performed sooner it may have resulted in doctors changing the type of fluid given to Claire.
