Ms Stohr was suspended by the hospital and has not been at work since March 2024, initially for personal reasons.

In her absence, her patients were seen by other doctors who discovered, a letter to the parents from the hospital said, a “higher than expected level of complications”.

That led to an initial review, which found operations involving nine children fell “below expected standards”.

One of those was Darcey, whose parents previously told the BBC they feared problems with her hip operation, which left her leg rotated inwards “to almost 90 degrees” and in need of further surgery, were “brushed under the rug”.

It emerged that concerns about Ms Stohr dated back as early as 2015 and wider reviews were started into about 800 patient procedures.

The latest report concluded there was “a series of missed opportunities, both major and minor, in how CUH and its leadership addressed concerns” about Ms Stohr’s medical practice and “appropriate actions could have been taken”.
