All rise for Judge

ED Yes, that was in the datex
NC Can you explain datex and what we're looking at
ED Body of datex, tick boxes
NC Quite a few fields
ED Yes, tick boxes and drop down menus. Anything that happens to AE it
defaults to me being the investigator but I can change
NC Where is the info re leaving patients
ED Not here but there are other boxes
NC Yr clear in another box, the datex includes leaving patients
ED I have 15 datex per week. This will be 100s back so unable to clarify

NC - page 277, email between HR people , you are copied, advice that JH had given you, advising others of it
ED - yes
NC - is that an accurate account of the convo
ED - yes, and I think Jackie would have had access to the Datix
NC - does that email contain any info new to you
ED - its 3 Jan, I'd seen the Datix, most that I already knew. And advice was what she had already given me to keep SP and DU on different shifts, that all makes sense
NC - we can see, by now, you must have known the whole story, including the two allegations on patient care

JR - we left things on 4 January with the letter, skip forward to 8 Jan, KS email to IB at 15:18, 3rd para down says that KS has had a chat with MC and ED.
ED - the only discussion I had with IB was about the TW using the female CR, and the chat I had with MC was
that she had been given the same advice, that DU could use female CR.
JR - now another email; what does this relate to, is she referring to you
ED - I don't think it's me, I had only that one convo with IB is August and no other convo
JR - lovely, now moving on to 12 Jan
