Mother needing surgery died after being turned away from three hospitals over bed shortages

Mother needing surgery died after being turned away from three hospitals over bed shortages A woman died from a brain haemorrhage after at least three hospitals refused to admit her for surgery because they had no intensive care beds.

A coroner ruled that 57-year-old Mary Muldowney would probably have survived if she had been given immediate life-saving surgery to stem the bleeding.

Ms Muldowney was admitted to East Surrey Hospital in Redhill on July 20 last year where doctors immediately suspected a bleed on the brain. The Daily Telegraph
