Islington North MP Jeremy Corbyn called for an inquiry after a woman collapsed and died - half an hour after Whittington Hospital doctors diagnosed a “touch of tonsilitis” and sent her home.
Patsy Williams, 20, had complained of a violent headache and “unbearable pain”. She was unable to walk by the time she reached hospital.
Mother Icilde Williams, of Lazar Walk in the Andover Estate, said: “If they had kept her in hospital, I would accept it. I feel really disgusted.”
Mr Corbyn said: “I am appalled that a young and apparently healthy young woman should die so soon after leaving accident and emergency.”
But the hospital said it was “satisfied” with the clinical care offered.
