They are at lunch just now, resuming shortly with Dr Warren

Yes please! There’s a lot of good questions being put to Dr Roy from what people are tweeting, but there’s a lack of response being reported. He’s also being accused of waffling, and seems to be getting peoples backs up so it’s hard to parse what he’s actually saying.

From Kags on twitter “Action for ME medical adviser consults with Dr, who comes away thinking they’ve been discussing “theories about ME” and there’s no decisive evidence Dan Wyke - The Coroner states lack of dietetic (edit spelling) support in NICE guidelines and indicates she will address this

Dan Wyke on twitter “Dr Roy’s argument seems peculiar - we couldn’t give a dying person TPN because it’s dangerous” (Dan’s paraphrasing) Sarah Boothby is questioning Dr Roy about contingency if the NG failed

I suspect that those persons include the 2 nurses who are too ill to attend (reasons not given) Edit- I think it was mentioned on the first day that there was some disconcertion that a Consultant’s recommendation (for the Neurology ward for Maeve) had been overruled by the site management team...

The Council had a number of reasons why they couldn’t assess Maeve, essentially because she was too unwell to be visited by a social worker to be assessed, she was “in and out” of hospital. None of it is good enough. People are treated at home all the time. I do wonder whether the Council could...
