A mother of a nine-year-old girl has said the doctor who attempted to cover up the circumstances of her daughter’s death put their family through 26 years of “mental torment”.

Jennifer Roberts said she will “never forgive” Dr Heather Steen, who was struck off the medical register on Friday for her actions.
