Five-year-old with asthma turned away by GP for being 5 mins late died later in hospital

The opportunity to potentially save a five-year-old girl with life-threatening asthma was missed after she was turned away from an emergency appointment because she was late, a coroner has ruled.

Ellie-May Clark arrived at the Grange Clinic in Newport, South Wales, five minutes after her emergency appointment at 5pm on January 26 2015, an inquest heard.
