Severely disabled Jade Norton , aged 10 , from Blackpool in Lancashire , was given the £2,600 BaKare Klearside bed to stop her rolling out at night . The NHS is facing a criminal trial over the death of a severely disabled ten-year-old girl who fell out of a faulty bed and was suffocated by a plastic sheet . Jade Norton , aged 10 , from Blackpool in Lancashire , was given the £2,600 BaKare Klearside bed to stop her rolling out at night if she suffered a seizure . She suffered from Rett Syndrome , a rare disorder which impacts on breathing and movement . Just days before her 11th birthday in June 2011 she suffered a fit during the night and fell from the bed because the barrier to stop her falling out was broken and had not been fixed . Her parents claim they put in four requests in with the NHS and their care providers over a six week period asking for the bed to be fixed , but were ignored . They also say the bed was not serviced in four years . Three years after the tragedy health bosses have finally apologised and paid undisclosed compensation as part of a civil case . But yesterday criminal proceedings were launched by the Health and Safety Authority against NHS Litigation Limited and Jade 's carers , Interserve Healthcare . Jade 's mother Amanda , 42 , a support worker said : 'At the end of the day an innocent girl has died . 'She would still be here if it was not for the faults . ' I hope that we get the truth . I know nothing will bring her back but people need to be made more aware of what has happened so it never happens again . Jade pictured with her mother Amanda . She suffered from Rett Syndrome , a rare disorder which only affects girls and impacts on breathing and movement and is usually caused by a spontaneous genetic mutation . 'It is justice for Jade . My little girl has lost her life - I do not want it to happen to anyone again . ' Her father Lee , a graphic designer , noticed the bed 's barrier was faulty but claims his complaints were ignored . He was the one to find his daughter 's lifeless body beneath a plastic sheet on the floor . Just days before her 11th birthday in June 2011 Jade suffered a fit during the night and fell from the bed because the barrier to stop her falling out was broken - she suffocated under a plastic sheet . Mr Norton , 41 , said : ' I thought she was asleep - but then I noticed she was blue . I just howled . ' Rett syndrome is a rare chromosome condition that only affects girls . The disease usually strikes youngsters when they have learned to walk or talk . Over time the disease drags a girl 's progression backwards so they lose their new skills and are left unable to communicate . Most girls with Rett syndrome reach adulthood but lose their motor skills . The syndrome is most often caused by a spontaneous genetic mutation and can occur in any family at any time . It affects around 1 in 12,000 live female births . There is no current treatment for the condition but there are hopes of finding a cure . The condition also affected Coleen Rooney 's little sister who died in January 2013 . Sufferers can live to their 40s and some have been known to live to their 70s . People do not die of Rett Syndrome but of complications that can appear with it such as epilepsy or pneumonia . See reverserett.org.uk . Mrs Norton added : 'Lee screamed . I started CPR to try to resuscitate her while Lee rang for an ambulance . ' I would hate to go through it again . ' Today Mrs Norton demanded justice for her daughter . She said : 'Nothing will bring her back but people need to be made more aware of what has happened so it never happens again . ' The NHS faces one allegation of failing in its duty of care to Jade in relation to the supply of a prescription bed at her home . Care provision company Interserve Health Care - formerly known as Advantage Health Care - faces two allegations of exposing Jade to risk through their delivery of nursing and personal care . Jennifer Maloney of Slater Gordon law firm confirmed the civil settlement had been agreed and an apology received by the family . A letter to the family from Richard Jones of NHS England , said : ' I do appreciate that no apology I can make will be adequate in these circumstances , but I am truly sorry . ' NHS Litigation Ltd spokesman said : 'Any criminal liabilities of former PCTs were passed to the NHS Litigation Authority by Transfer Orders when PCTs were abolished . ' Interserve Healthcare declined to comment . Three years after the tragedy health bosses finally apologised and paid undisclosed compensation .
