Some children have a glow about them — a brightness that fills every room they enter. Five-year-old Lila Marsland was one of those children: joyful, playful,

full of energy, and adored by everyone who knew her. But instead of being remembered for her love of life, Lila’s name has now become synonymous with medical failure and heartbreaking loss.

A Festive Family Walk Turns into a Nightmare

On December 27, 2023, during a family stroll near Dovestone Reservoir in Greater Manchester, Lila began to feel unwell.

She complained of a headache and later vomited on the way back to the car. As the day went on, her condition worsened. She became lethargic and developed neck pain — a symptom her mother, Rachael Mincherton, found deeply concerning.

Rachael, 36, is not only a devoted mother but a district nurse at Tameside General Hospital. With her medical background, she knew neck pain in children was a serious red flag, particularly for meningitis. She took Lila to her own hospital, fearing something more than just a seasonal virus.

Signs Were Missed — and So Was the Chance to Save Her

Despite Lila being assessed by multiple healthcare professionals, including a nurse practitioner, junior doctor, and pediatric registrar, she was discharged in the early hours of December 28 with a suspected case of tonsillitis. Rachael, trusting her colleagues, believed her daughter was in good hands.

“I felt reassured by them, to be honest,”
Rachael told the **BBC**.

“She had quite a few infections before this and she’d always received amazing care. I worked for that hospital. You don’t really not trust people when you work with them.”
But by 9 a.m. the next morning, Rachael discovered Lila unresponsive in bed. She called emergency services and began CPR. Tragically, it was already too late.

“I knew she’d been dead for quite some time,”
Rachael recalled.

A post-mortem revealed what Rachael had feared all along: Lila had died of pneumococcal meningitis — a condition that, if treated early, is often survivable.
