What would you do if your child died as a result of medical negligence and doctors and the police colluded to cover it up? 

That's what happened in the case of ten-year-old Robbie Powell.

His parents are campaigning for all healthcare professionals to be legally obligated to tell the truth following a negligent death. 

They're supported by the former Parliamentary Health Service Ombudsman Sir Rob Behrens CBE  says: "Mr Powell was personally traduced by doctors, by regulators by the police service, by the Crown Prosecution Service, by politicians in a way which is just unacceptable. He was patronised and he never gave up." 

Robbie died from Addison's Disease. He could have been saved if  doctors had carried out the necessary tests and informed the family of the risks. Instead, numerous medics failed him and spent 30 years covering it up.

In this podcast Robbie's father Will Powell and Sir Rob Behrens join me to discuss the Powell family's relentless pursuit of truth and justice and the systemic failures that have deprived his family of justice for more than 30 years.
