Sally Mays, who had mental health issues, died in Hull in 2014 after being refused admission.

An NHS trust has apologised "unreservedly" at an inquest into the death of a vulnerable woman who died after being refused hospital admission.A coroner ruled information withheld from the original 2015 inquest did not represent a further missed opportunity to prevent her death.

Hours before her death on 25 July 2014, a nurse seeking urgent admission for Ms Mays told a consultant doctor she was upset about the 22-year-old's assessment and treatment by the crisis team in a "casual" conversation, which was never documented and only emerged after the original inquest in October 2015.
