Staffing levels at Perth Children's Hospital are again in the spotlight after a mother claims her nine-month-old baby was sent home with a fever and struggled to stay conscious.

Jasmyn Lawrence told Mornings host Liam Bartlett her daughter Evelyn was unable to keep her eyes open and was basically in an unconscious state after PCH failed to detect she had a potentially deadly virus in their emergency department last week.

After waiting for six hours at the hospital on August 26, Jasmyn and her family were told their baby girl had bronchiolitis and they were sent home, but they then took the girl to Fiona Stanley Hospital.

"I'm so glad I went to Fiona Stanley Hospital, the staff there listened to me and did everything they could to help Evelyn," she told Bartlett.
