3 year old stuck in hospital with no care

She was cleared for discharge on 13 October but the family want "clinically qualified" carers at home

I'm Nick Meir with news that a three-year-old girl with severe cerebral palsy has been in hospital for more than five months because her family say there is not an adequate care package for her at home. Lovelle Treadwell's family said she was admitted at Southend on 9 September after suffering respiratory failure. She was cleared for discharge on 13 October but the family want "clinically qualified" carers at home. The Mid and South Essex Integrated Care Board said it has "secured a new provider who is now developing an appropriate package of care". Adding "Our absolute priority is to continue working closely with the family to enable a safe and effective discharge from hospital."
