Ian Harvey — witness evidence summary (Thirlwall Inquiry)

Summary and key excerpts from Ian Harvey's Thirlwall Inquiry evidence. Harvey was Medical Director at the Countess of Chester from 2010 to 2018. His evidence addresses the clinical-leadership decisions around Letby's continued presence on the unit, the commissioning of the RCPCH review as a service-level review rather than an individual-case investigation, and the framing of consultants' concerns as a team-dysfunction matter.
