Correction to a correction: Salt poisoning

The correction (BMJ 2003;326:497) to the article by Malcolm G Coulthard and George B Haycock (BMJ 2003;326:157-60) stated that a family court hearing determined that the children had not been salt poisoned. We have been informed by the local authority concerned that this is incorrect. The evidence within the proceedings was not tested and the court did not make any findings of fact or determination.
