A 39-year-old woman found dying under a coat in an overcrowded A&E in Nottingham may have been missed by staff because they were accustomed to homeless people sleeping in the waiting area, an inquest has heard.

Inga Rublite attended A&E at Queen’s Medical Centre (QMC) at 10.40pm on 19 January suffering from a severe headache, blurred vision, high blood pressure and vomiting.
