A senior doctor has said she witnessed her ill son “receiving inadequate care” at the hospital where she works before he died.

William Hewes died aged 22 at Homerton Hospital in January last year within 24 hours of being admitted after his meningitis, caused by a meningococcal infection, developed into sepsis.
