A SICK Midland baby has died after waiting for nearly two weeks for treatment at Birmingham Children’s Hospital.

Tiny Millie Court, a twin, could breathe only with the help of a ventilator and desperately needed to undergo specialist tests to diagnose her illness after she was born on January 11 at Russells Hall Hospital in Dudley.

But she had to wait 11 days to be transferred to the Children’s Hospital and died on January 25 after her life support machine was switched off.

The Mail revealed Millie’s parents and grandparents feared the delay, which they were told was due to staff and bed shortages, would cost their little daughter her life.

Now Millie’s dad Mark, of Church Hill, Kinver, near Stourbridge, has called on the government to give more financial support to hospitals.

The tot’s twin sister Maisie was born healthily.

Mark, an engineer, aged 35, said: “Millie had brain muscle and nervous system abnormalities and couldn’t breathe properly.
