A patient with severe physical and mental health problems died in hospital two months after she had been sectioned under the mental health act, an inquest has heard.

In the hours before her death Corinne Haslam, 55, from Hyde, told her husband in a phone call she thought she would die if she wasn't removed from a psychiatric ward at Tameside Hospital, the court was told.

Mrs Haslam, who was diagnosed with schizophrenia and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and was prescribed a number of drugs, was admitted as a voluntary patient to Taylor ward at the hospital on January 16, 2022, but a week later she was detained at the ward under section 3 of the Mental Health Act.
