Voice of the Valleys with Corinne Cope

This conversation delves into the tragedy of Dylan Cope, a nine-year-old boy who died from a misdiagnosed and untreated perforated appendix, leading to septic shock & death in December, 2022. At the heart of Dylan's death was medical negligence, as the NHS seemed to want to cover up and obfuscate rather than help the grieving Cope family get closure and justice. His mother, Corinne Cope, shares the harrowing journey of seeking justice and accountability from the healthcare system. The discussion highlights systemic failures, the challenges faced in investigations, and the need for significant reforms to prevent future tragedies. Corinne emphasizes the importance of learning from mistakes and ensuring that no other family has to endure such pain.
