The remaining injured children treated at Alder Hey Hospital following the stabbings in Southport have all now been discharged. Three young girls died last Monday after the knife attack which left ten more people – eight of whom were children – injured. Alder Hey Children’s Hospital, in Liverpool, confirmed all children in its care who attended the Taylor Swift-themed dance class had now been discharged.
In a statement on its website, the hospital said: “We are really pleased to be able to share that all the children involved in last Monday’s awful incident in Southport who were under our care have now been safely discharged home from Alder Hey. “We would like to take this opportunity to thank all those involved in responding to the incident or caring for anyone affected by it, especially our colleagues in the NHS, Merseyside Police and North West Ambulance Service. We also want to say thank you to all who sent well wishes to Alder Hey and to the families affected.
“Our heartfelt sympathies remain with all those impacted by last week’s tragic events.” Five of the eight children who suffered stab wounds were in a critical condition last week along with the two adults who suffered stab injuries at the scene, according to Merseyside Police. Up until yesterday, one child was still being treated for their injuries at the Alder Hey Hospital.
Merseyside Police confirmed one child was still in hospital at a different Merseyside location. Mourners gathered to pay tri.
