Parents criticise hospital during inquest into son's death

The parents of a four-year-old boy who died at Bristol Children's Hospital have criticised the care he received.

Sean Turner died after suffering a brain haemorrhage in March 2012, six weeks after he had heart surgery.

Speaking at his inquest today, his parents claimed his ward was understaffed, and that doctors refused to move him to the Intensive Care Unit.

Steve and Yolande Turner also spoke to ITV News about their experience at the hospital.
