A woman who died following a late-stage abortion procedure after travelling from Ireland to England was discharged from the clinic despite vomiting and swaying so much she looked “drunk”, an inquest has heard. One of the nurses denied they had pressured her to leave because they had wanted to go home. Corinne Slingo, representing Marie Stopes, said: “The taxi driver says he saw his passenger walking out of the building. Procedure finished“Aisha told me she had finished having the procedure and was going to get a taxi back to Slough,” a statement read to the court said. She told the hearing Ms Chithira had been to the toilet where she passed blood with her urine – which was “consistent with a late stage termination”– and had “thrown herself” on the floor.
