A disabled woman lay on the floor moaning in pain for more than an hour and a half after being dropped by care home workers days before she died, an inquest has heard.

Lyn Parker, 64, hit her head and broke her ribs and arm when she fell 1.5 metres (five feet) after two care workers tried to lift her using a sling at Tudor Avenue Residential Care Home in Hampton, south London.

Ms Parker, from Kingston upon Thames, was on the floor for more than 90 minutes before an ambulance arrived on January 15 2021, West London Coroner’s Court heard.
