Reopening Laura Higginson's Death Investigation

Laura Higginsons family seeks justice as two health watchdogs review possible reopening of investigation into her death at Whiston Hospital in 2017. Despite an inquest ruling out natural causes, the family feels deeply let down by the outcome, calling it a bitter blow. The Nursing and Midwifery Council and the General Medical Council are now reviewing the matter, focusing on patient safety and staff fitness to practice. The hospital trust has expressed condolences and believes it met standards of openness, while the family pushes for a new Hillsborough Law to enforce candour on public bodies.
