A young girl has died after being struck down by meningitis - as her twin brother narrowly survived the deadly disease.
Brian and Julie Backhouse said their 23-month-old daughter Lili passed away after a hospital doctor failed to spot she had the killer brain bug and sent her home.
Mrs Backhouse, 38, said: 'I'm numb with grief but I am also very angry that we were dismissed so easily.'
Just hours later the devastated parents discovered her twin brother Lukas had also contracted the disease - but thankfully he recovered after he received immediate medical attention.
