8:33Now PlayingA 12-year-old girl who died after an incident of self-harm was failed on multiple levels, an inquest jury at Sheffield Coroner's Court has found.
Mia Lucas, who died in January 2024, was found unresponsive at the Becton Centre, an NHS children's psychiatric unit in Sheffield, after developing a rare neurological disorder that had been left undiagnosed.
The jury found that the failure to undertake a lumbar puncture at the Queen's Medical Centre in Nottingham before her transfer to the Becton Centre "possibly contributed to Mia's death".
