"James Johnston expressed his grief, stating, 'She was just a cool kid.' He emphasized the need for action in healthcare, saying, 'No more people should die in that hospital.'"
"The inquest concluded that Aoife's death was due to medical misadventure after she waited 15 hours and 15 minutes for treatment for meningitis and sepsis."
James Johnston campaigned for justice after his daughter Aoife died at 16 from sepsis, having waited over 15 hours for medication. An inquest in 2024 ruled her death a medical misadventure. Aoife's parents witnessed her condition worsen and pleaded for medical attention, but she was not seen by a doctor for 12 hours despite a GP's letter indicating sepsis. Johnston emphasized the need for healthcare improvements at UHL to prevent future tragedies, expressing hope for action rather than just words.
