Dr Helmsley attending tomorrow but not answering questions? Looks like scheduling issues.

Further to this SJC responds to Sarah that raising concerns about a person not eating or drinking is looked at under the category of abuse

It’s finished for the day. Tomorrow will be Sarah Boothby followed by Sean O’Neill. There may be more from Dr Shenton. Friday morning we have a witness ( will it be JH? Helmsley) Friday afternoon will be legal submissions. edit - apparently Kate Dixon on Fri

A “Ms Allan” has spoken a few times (interrupted) and my guess is she is the DCC rep/lawyer Sean O’Neill now questions SJC No references to MBP/FIDA/prior to 10 September 21, made by a Tim Jackson (don’t know him?)

SB- When Maeve died did DCC make a referral made to the Safeguarding Adults board?* SJC - I’m not aware if that took place Coroner - if it was, I’d have a record of it *I think whers there’s concerns and Social Services involved, then the person died, this would normally be referred to Adult...

SB is upset because she wanted to preempt the outcome Maeve saw in March She asks SJC if there’s any other route the family could have taken

The coroner has asked Sarah to move on, as this line of questioning isn’t helpful. In my opinion, Sarah is trying to draw out what she knows is there, they didn’t help her or Maeve and she knows the subject too well to do it objectively, I’ve seen this many times before, I really feel for her.

Coroner asking about safeguarding, reference to a letter JH 13 March Social Care Can’t investigate the hospital for neglect, should have complained to hospital

22 Sept 21 Safeguarding meeting. Parents not there. Number of medics present. No safeguarding concern, so move to support plan

Coroner - was there a referral for safeguarding sent to the hospital? SJC - they have their own safeguarding team, it would have been JH (Helmsley?) with those links.

Coroner reading SJC email of 29 Jan 21 “she [Maeve] maybe unable to protect herself. Coroner will be asking questions about this email/letter

Hospital Trust Rep/Lawyer asks Beth about her “rock and a hard place” email Maeve is taking vitamins but not water, what was difficult to understand? BT- it’s the same mechanism, you still have to swallow BT is released. Sarah Clarke “SJC” is appearing via remote access as she has Covid...

Sean O’N - was DrRoy advising you in the background? BT - At the time it was Dr Roy Coroner asks whether a junior dietician should have been on this case at all? BT says she’s always there to support her team

Sean O’Neill asks if risks of feeding amplified over risks of not feeding Maeve? BT- Oral feeding less risks than enteric Sean O’Neill asks any contingency if N failed? BT- No, if NG not tolerated unlikely to make it through PEG, risks outweigh benefit
