Neonatal nurse on the 2016 RCPCH invited review team
Neonatal nurse and the nursing member of the RCPCH invited review team that examined the Countess of Chester neonatal unit in 2016. She gave evidence to the Thirlwall Inquiry on 11 November 2024 on two statements, the second addressing later work developing a framework for BAPM, and opened by correcting her own account of the review team's discussions about police involvement.
She rejected the suggestion that the review team had been steered away from a police referral. Put to her that the team was being urged to find something, she said she did not agree and that 'We would find what we found' — 'Which was the truth.' Asked whether the executives were treating the allegations seriously and recognised their seriousness, she answered: 'No.'
