Girl aged 5 died after GP turned her away for being late

Girl aged 5 died after GP turned her away for being late A five-year-old girl with a history of asthma was turned away from seeing her doctor because she was "late" - and died that night in hospital.

An inquest heard Ellie-May Clark was not seen by Grange Clinic in Newport despite having an emergency appointment because it operated a "10 minute rule".

A chance to "provide potentially life-saving treatment was missed" said the coroner, giving a narrative verdict.

After the hearing in Newport, Ellie-May's family said "she was let down". BBC News
