The parents of a 13-year-old Australian boy who died after being served breakfast as a patient at Frankston Hospital in Melbourne say the hospital staff was informed of his allergies, according to an article on Allergic Living website.
The boy had allergies to milk, egg and nuts since he was a baby. In October 2015, he was admitted to the hospital because of an asthma attack.
The nurse in charge of the children’s ward in the hospital at the time of the death told the inquest his allergies were not recorded on the kitchen’s whiteboard, which is a protocol at the hospital to indicate a child’s allergies.
An Allergic Living report in Fall 2017 found the issue of food safety in hospitals for people with food allergies does not appear to be on the radar for some key organizations — despite the rapid rise in the disease’s incidence.
