The family of a five-year-old girl from Newport,

:00:21.:00:22.

who died of an asthma attack two years ago, are calling

:00:23.:00:25.

Ellie-May Clark was taken to the local surgery by her mother,

:00:26.:00:29.

but her doctor refused to see her because she was late.

:00:30.:00:32.

The General Medical Council found that the GP's failure to see

:00:33.:00:36.

and assess the child did NOT meet with standards required of a doctor.

:00:37.:00:40.

Mum Shanice brought the five-year-old to their doctor's

surgery in the Malpas area of Newport after she was sent home

:00:53.:00:55.

from school early because teachers were concerned about her breathing.

:00:56.:00:58.

She had made an emergency appointment but was

:00:59.:01:02.

She did tell them she might be five minutes late because she had to sort

:01:03.:01:06.

out bringing the kids here and then phoning for a lift because she

:01:07.:01:09.

And when she got in, she was a few minutes late,

:01:14.:01:33.

Ellie-May died that night before an ambulance could get

:01:34.:01:37.

Now the health board has carried out a serious concern report

:01:38.:01:42.

into the actions of Doctor Joanne Rowe at the Grange clinic

the child because she was late for the appointment and did not make

:01:52.:01:54.

What would you like to see happen to the doctor concerned?

:01:55.:01:59.

I don't know how but she should be punished, struck off.

:02:00.:02:02.

If she just said sorry, at least that would be something.

:02:03.:02:05.

But Doctor Rowe continues to practice, now in Cardiff.

:02:06.:02:08.

A General Medical Council investigation resulted in a warning

:02:09.:02:11.

which will stay on her record for five years.

:02:12.:02:13.
