3/ Dr Churcher Clarke - Focus of Dr Polly Carmichael was not on the safeguarding concerns raised by Dr David Bell but on who had spoken to him.

4/ Dr Churcher Clarke - it wasn't her experience that Dr Polly Carmichael was concerned about the safeguarding issues raised by Dr Bell.
5/ Dr Churcher Clarke - was concerned about a GIDS patient who was convicted of sex offending and wanted to transition, in part so they wouldn't be recognised. Concern that this was not viewed as a safeguarding issue.
