Police are appealing for help locating a sick nine-year-old girl who went missing after being taken to hospital in need of urgent medical care.
“Detectives are unsure if this is the child’s real name as the family provided a false address to staff.”
The family told medical staff they travelled to the UK in order for their son to receive hospital treatment.
But the family left two hours later before the girl, who police believe is diabetic, could receive treatment.
The girl was with her parents and a younger brother when she attended St Mary’s Hospital in Paddington, London, at about 17:40 BST on Sunday.
