Hospitals not working, says sister of woman who died waiting in A&E

The sister of a woman who died under a coat in a crowded Nottingham A&E department says her story shows "the whole hospital system isn't working" as she fears more people could die due to overcrowding and mistakes.

Inga Rublite, 39, died after being found unconscious on the floor under a coat more than eight hours after arriving at A&E at Queen's medical centre in Nottingham on 19 January.

Hospital staff had called her name three times, but when Rublite failed to respond they assumed she had left and discharged her from the system. She was found slumped on the floor by staff arriving on duty at 7am.

She had suffered a brain haemorrhage, with an inquest concluding in July that she died of natural causes and would probably still have died from a "catastrophic bleed" even if she had been treated more quickly.
