Stella-Lilly McCorkindale became the ninth child to die from the infection on 5 December after being admitted to the Royal Belfast Hospital
It comes after Stella-Lilly's father, Robert McCorkindale, told the Mirror that his daughter should have been tested for the infection earlier.He told the paper:"I think she would have had two extra days of fighting.
He said he had first taken his daughter to A&E on 28 November after she started feeling unwell with a cold and temperature. He said he returned the next day, when doctors helped rehydrate Stella-Lilly, but did not carry out tests. He told the Mirror that he believed her treatment was"disgraceful" up until that point, but praised doctors in the intensive care unit who he said had"bent over backwards" to try and save his daughter.Mr McCorkindale also paid tribute to his daughter in a social media post, writing:"We loved every minute together walking this road on our scooter rides or bikes rides, to shopping in Iceland, to living beside the neighbors that ever walked this earth.
