39-year-old Inga Rublite died after waiting eight hours in Nottingham's Queen's Medical Centre A&E, where staff assumed she had left and missed opportunities to assess her severe headache. Rublite was found unconscious and later diagnosed with a large brain bleed, which led to her death. The hospital trust acknowledged a delay in having a scan to diagnose the bleed. Overcrowding and staffing shortages were cited as factors. The inquest continues.
