UPDATED 9.42AM: A judge has clarified the suppression orders covering the case of the death of a Whanganui toddler.

A woman has today pleaded guilty in the High Court in Whanganui to the 16-month-old's manslaughter.

The boy died after being left in a hot car at Whanganui Hospital in January.

Justice Robert Dobson has since stated that the suppression orders not only cover the woman's name, but her occupation and place of work.

The boy's name can no longer be reported.

The case returns to court on June the 5th where the woman will seek a discharge without conviction.
