A hospital's 101 calls to police to report a depressed man had gone missing went unanswered for hours, an inquest has heard.
Tragically, Piotr Andrzejczak, 25, was found dead in dense woodland nine days after walking out of the emergency department at Royal Oldham Hospital on July 14, last year.
On that day, hospital staff tried to report him missing from 3.45pm using Greater Manchester Police's 101 line, assistant coroner for Manchester North Matthew Cox was told.
