PHONE-IN 
Hospitals in England will be offered funding from April to introduce "Martha's rule", the NHS has announced. The government has backed plans to roll out a system giving seriously ill patients easy access to a second opinion if their condition worsens. About two-thirds of hospitals - at least 100 - will initially be able to apply to participate in the scheme. 
It follows a campaign by the parents of Martha Mills, 13, who died of sepsis because her symptoms were missed. Martha's mother, Merope, told BBC News the new system would save lives and mean her daughter had not died "in vain". Ms Mills previously said she and her husband, Paul Laity, had been ignored when they had raised concern about Martha's care and asked for her to be transferred to intensive care.
