'Urgent' probe of WA girl's hospital death.
Questions have been raised about whether staff shortages contributed to the death of a young girl forced to wait for care at a Perth hospital.
Seven-year-old Aishwarya Aswath died at Perth Children's Hospital on Saturday after spending two hours waiting for treatment in the emergency department.
She had been rushed to hospital with a fever.
Aishwarya's parents told Nine News they had pleaded for their daughter to be seen by doctors after her eyes became cloudy and her hands turned cold.
Aishwarya Aswath’s parents will be forced to wait at least a month before finding out whether Perth Children’s Hospital could have done more to save their little girl. 🔒 https://t.co/YCHRVPwONu pic.twitter.com/G0hCsMP1cv
