1
00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:04,640
Rosie, please stop. Don't move!

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:06,960
Why is he trying to blame
Rosie's death on the birth?

3
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:10,960
There was nothing normal about
the brutality Rosie experienced.

4
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:12,320
Sophia cancelled that referral.

5
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:13,960
She's is responsible
for Rosie's death.

6
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:17,320
The only doctors referred from QM
to the MIU in the last three years

7
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:19,960
were two anaesthetists
and two junior doctors.

8
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:21,960
You think the Trust pushed those
patients to make a complaint?

9
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,160
There is nothing the Trust won't do

10
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,480
to protect the hospital's
reputation.

11
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:28,960
I had to rescue Sophia Hernandez
last night.

12
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,160
Forceps. We're compromising
the baby. We need to do a caesarean.

13
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:34,800
So, why on earth did you persist
with an assisted vaginal delivery

14
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,960
instead of an emergency caesarean
like Mr Mansoor told you to?

15
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,960
It's the parents of the boy
that died. They wanna meet me.

16
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:42,960
I thought you had a tribunal.
You're cleared?

17
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:44,960
Maybe they feel I owe them
a better explanation.

18
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,000
It's got nothing to do with Ben.

19
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,320
Ruby, he's your tutor.
It's not a big deal.

20
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,960
It's a total
and utter abuse of power!

21
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:54,960
If you don't resign,
I'll make sure you're struck off

22
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:56,960
and never work again.

23
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:57,960
If we merge with Oakwell,

24
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,960
we'll be looking for
a new director of psychiatry.

25
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:01,960
You'd make a good candidate.

26
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,800
There's just one thing
that needs clearing up.

27
00:01:05,960 --> 00:01:08,480
You visited a nightclub
with Felicity Templeton.

28
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:09,960
You were in possession of ecstasy.

29
00:01:09,960 --> 00:01:10,960
New admission?
Yep.

30
00:01:10,960 --> 00:01:13,960
Drug-induced exacerbation
of bipolar disorder.

31
00:01:13,960 --> 00:01:16,960
You're suspended with immediate
effect. You know about the referral?

32
00:01:16,960 --> 00:01:18,960
You know what they've done
to Maria Carter?

Yesterday.

You said you were...
concerned for her welfare.

41
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:21,960
What made you concerned today?

42
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,960
S-Sorry, what was the question?

43
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,960
You were explaining what made you
concerned enough to come over.

44
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:32,960
Maria was an old colleague.

45
00:03:34,640 --> 00:03:37,160
I knew she'd been struggling with
the pressure of the investigation,

46
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:38,960
so when I saw her name
on the news, I...

47
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:41,960

So, I'm meeting Dr Armitage
tomorrow afternoon.

72
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,960
Dr Hussain wants time to consider
whether or not to get involved.

73
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:36,960
If she agrees, would you meet her?

74
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:38,960
Of course. Right.

75
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,960
I'm gonna do a deep dive
into the Maternity Unit's history.

76
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:44,960
And I'll let you know
if anything comes up. OK.

77
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,960
Hi. I need to speak to Dr Hernandez.
She's not in today. Can I help you?

78
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:56,160
Her consultant, Mr Mansoor?

79
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,320
Oh, he's just started his ward round
so he won't be available till...

80
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,960
Excuse me? Hang on a minute!

Hey!

82
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,320
You shouldn't be on this ward.

83
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,960
You know Maria Carter?
She was found dead yesterday.

84
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:11,960
If you don't leave my ward
immediately, I'm calling security.

85
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,800
She killed herself because of you
and your department.

00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,960

Hey, listen, I'm not done with you.

Dr Hussain's agreed to meet us

Well, I suppose we can agree

have suspended that lecturer,

119
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:24,000

00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:31,960
OK. But did you report him?

124
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,960
OK, look, I saw you looked him up
on our database the other day,

125
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,960
and... you know that's
a breach of data protection.

126
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,960
Don't lecture me, George.

127
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:43,960
I did what any
decent parent would do.

128
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:53,160
Thanks for agreeing to meet me.

129
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,960
Maria and I worked together
for a number of years

130
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:57,960
on the Maternity Unit.

131
00:08:59,960 --> 00:09:01,960
She was one of the good ones.

132
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,960
Being supervised was humiliating.

133
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,960
The only reason
I'm still a doctor now is...

134
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,480
because my parents would be
devastated if I quit.

135
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,960
There were rumours
of whistle-blowers silenced

136
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:15,640
by disciplinary action.

137
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,960
I didn't believe them...
till it happened to me.

138
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,960
The incident reports went nowhere.
What happened to them?

139
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:28,160
They just made it really difficult
for us to submit serious incidents.

140
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,960
Lots of forms to fill in,
additional sign offs.

141
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:33,960
So everyone just did the simpler
high-risk form instead.

142
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:38,320
Meaning the Trust reported
much lower serious incident figures

143
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:39,960
to the government.

144
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:42,960
Why didn't any
of the families involved

145
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:44,960
pursue claims against the Trust?

146
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:46,960
Some did.

147
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,480
But they'd convince them
the trauma sustained during birth,

148
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,960
the death of a baby or mother,
was unavoidable

149
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:52,960
or the patient's fault.

150
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:56,960
When that wasn't possible,
they paid families off quickly

151
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:58,960
but with much lower amounts
than they'd have got

152
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:00,320
if they'd gone to court.

153
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:04,960
I assumed the people responsible
for staff and patient wellbeing

154
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:09,960
would value protecting us
over a hospital's reputation.

155
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:11,960
I was so naive.

156
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,960
That maternity unit is toxic.

157
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:19,960
The arrogance and incompetence
of some of the consultants...

158
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,960
Can you name any of them?

159
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:24,960
I know it feels difficult, but...

160
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:26,960
would you be willing
to put that on record?

161
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:28,960
I'd rather not.

162
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:31,960
I can't.

163
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:48,960
No peeking.

164
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:51,960
When's the submission deadline?

165
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,960
Our client wants everything ready
to go by the end of the month.

166
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:56,960
Come here. Go on.

167
00:10:57,960 --> 00:10:59,960
You've got this. Yeah?

168
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:06,640
Come on, get dressed.

169
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:08,480
I'll drop you off on my way
into work, yeah.

170
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:09,960
Oh, yes, sir.

171
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:11,960

What're you doing?

173
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:42,960
How long have you been
sitting on this?

174
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:50,960
You're probably too young
to remember,

175
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,960
but about ten years ago,
QM had a major overhaul.

176
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:55,960
The Trust was on
the brink of bankruptcy,

177
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,960
primarily because they were
constantly compensating families

178
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,960
for avoidable incidents
within Maternity.

179
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:03,960
The CQC rated the unit
as inadequate

180
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:05,960
and said something drastic
had to change,

181
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:07,960
otherwise they'd be shut down.

182
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:11,960
So award-winning
obstetrician Eric Sawers

183
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,000
was appointed as the new
chief medical director.

184
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,800
The Trust felt he'd be well-placed
to bring about a new era of change

185
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:21,000
alongside Arun Mansoor,
QM's lead obstetrician.

186
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,960
Well, within years,
they were winning regional

187
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:25,000
and national awards

188
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,960
and had one of the country's
best "normal" birth rates.

189
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:32,640
Their caesarean rates
were as low as 14% in 2020?

190
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:38,960
Yep, when most other trusts were
still hovering around 22 to 26%.

191
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,000
But how did they turn things
around so quickly?

192
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:42,960
It must have cost a fortune.

193
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:44,960
Exactly.

194
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:46,960
So, I put in an urgent
Freedom of Information request

195
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:48,960
for the Trust's finances.

196
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:49,960
They immediately blocked it.

197
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:53,960
But... I'm trying to see
if I can get around that.

198
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,960
Did you manage to get hold
of their serious-incident data?

199
00:12:57,960 --> 00:12:59,960
Yes.

200
00:12:59,960 --> 00:13:03,160
The data QM submitted
to the Department of Health is...

201
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,960
significantly better than
nearby trusts of equivalent size.

202
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,960
That tallies with what Dr Armitage
and Dr Hussain said.

203
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,960
Even if they refuse to go on record,
we've got something to go on.

204
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,320
That's not concrete evidence.

205
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,320
We still need a witness
on the inside

206
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:20,960
who's prepared to go on record.

207
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:26,960
George, are you all right?

208
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:30,960
It's Gina.

209
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:33,800
Has something happened?

210
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,960
I found something out
that's almost certainly relevant

211
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:40,960
to our investigation.

212
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:43,960
About Gina?

213
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:48,960
If I share this, I'll be breaching
Gina's client confidentiality,

214
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,960
which will definitely mean
the end of our relationship.

215
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:54,640
Go on.

216
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:58,960
Gina's architecture firm
is creating plans

217
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,000
for a redesign
of the psychiatry unit at QM.

218
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:06,960
But... Gina's firm does
luxury residential property,

219
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:07,960
not commercial sites.

220
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:09,160
Yes.

221
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:12,960
Her client's putting together a bid
to purchase the psychiatry unit.

222
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,960
But how? The psych unit
isn't for sale.

223
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,800
There's been no public consultation.

224
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:21,960
Something like that
would take months,

225
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:23,960
years to set in motion.

226
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,960
Who's the client?
Asquith Archer Residential.

227
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:32,000
KEYBOARD CLICKS

228
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:37,960
There's nothing on this anywhere.

229
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,160
So why are Asquith Archer
putting together a bid

230
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,960
for a sale that doesn't exist?

231
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:44,960
I don't know, but...

232
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,160
it seems like they've been
preparing this for years.

233
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:50,960
Gina has details
of the whole proposal,

234
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:52,000
the value of the land,

235
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,960
how much that will increase
once the building's being repurposed

236
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,960
and the "less appealing"
psychiatric patients are moved out.

237
00:14:57,960 --> 00:14:59,960
We don't have enough
mental health beds as it is,

238
00:14:59,960 --> 00:15:01,960
and they wanna close down
the county's biggest psych unit

239
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,960
for a bit of profit?
I, er... I know.

240
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:06,960
How long has Gina known
about your connection to this?

241
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:10,960
Er, she realised a few weeks ago
but decided not to tell me.

242
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,960
But, ethically,
I mean, morally, it's wrong.

243
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:16,000
Can't she see that?

244
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:20,960
She said for weeks, I've been going
on about how risky the place is,

245
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,960
the patients aren't safe, staff
don't know what they're doing...

246
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:26,960
..the building isn't
fit for purpose.

247
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:32,960
Right. I wanna know everything
about Asquith Archer Residential.

248
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:34,960
Gina's gonna kill me.

249
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,960
I'm sorry, George,
but this is too important to ignore.

250
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,640
OK. With this information,
I can expedite the request

251
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:45,960
for the Trust's finance info.

252
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:48,480
Oh, and, George...

253
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:51,320
..thank you.

254
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,960
I do understand how hard
this must have been.

255
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:06,960
KNOCKING

256
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,960
DOOR HANDLE JIGGLES,
KNOCKING CONTINUES

257
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:11,960
FROM OUTSIDE:
Will's parents own the house.

258
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,160
James moved in a year ago.

259
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:15,960
We've never had locks
on the doors.

260
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,960
If he doesn't open it, we can
break it down or get a locksmith.

261
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:22,960
No, wait.
KNOCKING

262
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,960
James, it's Michelle Dornaway
from the Adult Care Team.

263
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:27,800
Can you open the door?

264
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:32,480
JAMES: Coming.

265
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:35,960
Why aren't you at work?

266
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:39,960
We took the day off to be here.

267
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,960
We're here to assess
your mental health, James,

268
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:44,960
to see if there's anything
we can do to help you.

269
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:46,960
There's nothing wrong
with my mental health.

270
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:48,960
These were found
in the bedside cabinet.

271
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,640
You know you shouldn't be
mixing these tablets together.

272
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,960
Your family and colleagues have
expressed some concerns about you.

273
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:57,960
Like what?

274
00:16:57,960 --> 00:16:59,960
Putting a lock on your door.

275
00:16:59,960 --> 00:17:01,960
I'm allowed to have
a little privacy.

276
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:03,960
Lying to your friends about
what's been happening at work.

277
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,960
He's not my friend.
He's my sister's boyfriend.

278
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:08,960
Why didn't you say
you'd been suspended?

279
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,960
James, do you know what day it is?

280
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:12,960
Yeah, it's Thursday.

281
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:15,960
It's Friday, James.

282
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:17,960
You've been asleep
since Wednesday night.

283
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:19,960
Well, I've not been sleeping
very well.

284
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:21,960
I took a sleeping tablet.
It must have knocked me out.

285
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:22,960
I spoke to your GP.

286
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:24,960
You've asked for a number
of different sedatives

287
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:26,960
this last few weeks.

288
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,960
OK, I really don't... genuinely
don't understand why you're here.

289
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:35,640
Martha said you struggled with
your mood before, in your last job.

290
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:36,960
Right.

291
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,960
You got depressed when a nurse
was nearly killed on your ward. OK.

292
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:41,960
She's... She's worried
it's happening again.

293
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,320
A patient jumped to their death
in front of you

294
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:45,960
and according to the police,

295
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,960
you recently found the body
of a close colleague.

296
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,960
I mean, that must have been
incredibly stressful for you.

297
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:53,960
Maria wasn't a close colleague.

298
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,960
We were working on something
together about the Trust.

299
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:58,960
Well, what were you working on?

300
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:02,960
OK.

301
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:04,960
Erm...
JAMES CLEARS THROAT

302
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:07,960
Things have been
a little stressful recently, yeah,

303
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:09,960
but that's got nothing
to do with my mental health.

304
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:10,960
It's about the Trust.

305
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:12,000
I don't know why,

306
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,960
but they're trying to pin the blame
for Rosie Newman's death on me.

307
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:16,800
Now, Maria was Rosie's midwife,

308
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:18,960
so she knew the Trust were
trying to cover something up,

309
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:20,960
and she's being piecing it together,

310
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:22,160
working with a woman
called Victoria Hall.

311
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,960
She's another midwife, I think.
They were gonna whistle-blow.

312
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,320
But whatever they've got
on the Trust was serious enough

313
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:28,960
for Maria to be silenced.

314
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:30,480
Silenced?
Yes.

315
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:31,960
By the Trust?
Yes.

316
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,960
OK, er, where does
Victoria Hall work?

317
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:37,960
I don't know.

318
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,480
And what else did Maria say
about Victoria?

319
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:42,960
Er, she didn't.

320
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,960
She just... She just mentioned her
once, maybe twice.

321
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,960
Are you sure Victoria Hall's
a real person?

322
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:50,960
Yes.

323
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:52,960
But you've never met her,

324
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:54,960
and Maria didn't tell you
anything else about her?

325
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:57,960
You can see my problem here, James.

326
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:01,960
Sometimes, when people are
struggling with their mental health,

327
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:03,960
they hear or see things that
aren't there - you know that.

328
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:04,960
Yeah, OK.

329
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:08,960
Look, the key issue here is that
the closer that I get to the truth,

330
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:10,960
then the more the Trust
try to stop me.

331
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:13,960
Look, they...
they ruined Maria's life,

332
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:15,960
and then when that wasn't enough,
they killed her.

333
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:17,960
If I'm not careful,
they'll do the same to me.

334
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:19,960
Let me get this straight -

335
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,960
you believe the Hospital Trust
murdered a former member of staff

336
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:24,480
and they're gonna do
the same to you?

337
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:27,960
When you put it like that,
it sounds mad - I get that -

338
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:28,960
but, yes, I do.

339
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:31,960
Look, they've even taken pictures
of me, right.

340
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,000
They've used them
to turn a college against me.

341
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:37,960
If you don't believe... If...

342
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:39,480
If you don't believe me,
then ask Kate.

343
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:42,320
She knows.
Kate?

344
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:43,960
McAllister. Dr McAllister.

345
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,960
James, she requested
this Mental Health Act assessment

346
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:49,960
in the first place.

347
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:51,640
She organised the whole thing.

348
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:54,960
She's a fucking liar!

349
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,960
Look, James...
we think you need respite

350
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:03,000
in a therapeutic environment

351
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,960
where you can focus
on getting better.

352
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:07,960
Are you willing to come voluntarily?

353
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:11,960
Or do we need to consider
bringing you in on a section?

354
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:15,960
It's, er... It's fine.

355
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:18,960
I'll come voluntarily.

356
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,480
It's great we found you
a private bed at such short notice.

357
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:29,960
This hospital's like a luxury spa.
You won't wanna leave.

358
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,640
I know it doesn't feel like it now,
but it's for your own good, James.

359
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:37,960
I've only sectioned
a handful of doctors

360
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,960
in 14 years doing this job,
and none of them have regretted it.

361
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:45,960
It's a nice place, I've heard.
Food's not too bad either.

362
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:46,960
SHE CHUCKLES

363
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,000
SPEECH MUFFLES:
I think there's a gym.

364
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:51,960
Take your work out gear with you.

365
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:55,960
You'll be fine. It won't be long.

366
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:57,960
I promise.

367
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:00,960
You can go for walks every day.

368
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,960
And I'm sure you'll enjoy that.
JAMES EXHALES DEEPLY

369
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:05,960
NORMAL SPEECH: Are you OK?

370
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,960
I gonna have a panic attack.
I have them sometimes.

371
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,960
JAMES EXHALES DEEPLY
Hold on, James. Can you pull over?

372
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:13,160
Yeah, just here, thank you.

373
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:22,800
All right.

374
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:24,960
All right, just focus
on your breathing,

375
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:26,960
HE COUGHS
Stay calm.

376
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:28,480
I've got some water in the car.

377
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:33,960
Hey! Hey!

378
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,000
Hi, yes. Police, please.

379
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,960
Yeah, I need to report a patient
who's just absconded.

380
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,160
Thanks to Arun,
we've managed to smooth things over

381
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:56,960
with the Patel family.

382
00:21:57,960 --> 00:21:59,000
So, I can return to work?

383
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,960
Yes.
We're keen to have you back.

384
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:04,960
What about the investigation?

385
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,960
Freya Patel had a medical condition
which she didn't disclose to us.

386
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,960
That's what complicated
the delivery.

387
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:13,160
What was the condition?

388
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:14,960
Some endocrine disorder.

389
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,960
We've offered her genetic testing
for any future pregnancies.

390
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:19,800
She was happy with that.

391
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,960
Hmm.
Leave it alone, Sophia.

392
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:25,960
You know as well as I do
that you're complicit

393
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:27,960
in some of the worst incidents
that have happened on that unit.

394
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,960
If it were up to me, you'd be gone.

395
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,960
But I'm giving you a second chance.
You can thank Mr Mansoor.

396
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:38,640
Now, we've drawn up an NDA
for you covering Baby Patel.

397
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:41,960
There, take it home,
read it carefully.

398
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,800
Once you've signed it, you can
return to work straight away.

399
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:52,960
These are the Trust's
financial records.

400
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:57,960
It's one way
to slow us down, I guess.

401
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:01,960
That bunch
of motherfucking jobsworths.

402
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:04,320
Where do we start?

403
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:09,960
When I was looking for news reports
on the maternity unit,

404
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,640
there was an article from years ago

405
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,960
about the cost of critical repairs
to the psychiatry unit.

406
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:16,960
Here.

407
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:20,640
It was gonna cost the Trust
at least seven million

408
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:22,000
to carry out
the essential building repairs,

409
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,960
so they tried to raise funds
through various charity events.

410
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,000
It says here they won
a government grant of two million

411
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,960
to help modernise the psych unit
in 2015.

412
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:35,960
Yes, and in a later article, they
mention that charity fundraising

413
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,960
had already reached
nearly four million.

414
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,960
So, they spent all that money,
and the unit's still falling apart?

415
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:46,640
But what if the repairs
were never carried out?

416
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:52,960
There's no way that they invested
over six million in that building.

417
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:55,960
Well, don't just
stand there, help me.

418
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:28,960
What are you doing?

419
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,320
Martha. Look, I...
I don't have time to explain.

420
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:32,960
The police are looking for you.

421
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:36,640
James, I'm really worried about you.
I don't know what to do.

422
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:38,960
Just... trust me.

423
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:39,960
Please.

424
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:42,960
SOFTLY: Please.

425
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:44,960
Where are you going?

426
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:46,640
To fix this.

427
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:53,160
SOFTLY: Thank you.

428
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:18,960
You're sure it's today?
Yeah, yeah.

429
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:20,960
And a fortnight ago
at the same time.

430
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:21,960
It's under the name Maria Carter.

431
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,960
I can't find anything.
Can I have a look?

432
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,800
See, there's no bookings
for Maria Carter.

433
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,960
Wait, you're here to meet Maria too?

434
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:40,960
Yeah. But... But, erm...

435
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:43,960
..Maria won't be coming.

436
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:46,640
Have you... Have you got a minute?

437
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:48,960
Maria contacted us out of the blue
about a month ago.

438
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:50,960
She wanted to talk to us
about what went wrong

439
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:52,960
during Aaron's birth.
Yeah.

440
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,640
We were confused. We thought
there were problems at the time,

441
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:58,960
but... the hospital reassured us
Kirsty's experience was normal.

442
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,000
We asked for the medical notes,

443
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,960
but they didn't mention any
of the awful things that happened,

444
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,960
so we dropped it
and tried to get on with our lives.

445
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:10,000
Did Maria ever explain to you
what her intentions were?

446
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:11,960
Well, she'd met with
another couple like us,

447
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,800
and... if we were willing,

448
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,960
she wanted to support us in taking
legal action against the hospital.

449
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,960
We... really weren't sure.

450
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:25,000
And now, with Maria gone,
I mean, what chance have we got?

451
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:01,960
BARMAID: Hiya, love.

452
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:11,960
Can I get you something?
I'm fine.

453
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,960
So, who told you about the referral?

454
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:17,960
Maria.

455
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:25,960
So... Maria's concerned
about Rosie's mental health.

456
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,160
Cos she told you
that Rosie's anxiety

457
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:32,320
about an infection was pathological,
but you just shut down her concerns.

458
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:37,640
When did you stop seeing
your patients as people?

459
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,960
Maria didn't clearly articulate
what was wrong with Rosie,

460
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:42,960
I couldn't just keep her on the ward

461
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:44,160
when I couldn't see
anything wrong with her.

462
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,000
You missed the early signs
of Rosie's psychosis

463
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:47,960
because you don't see
the psychological impact

464
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:49,480
of birth on your patients,

465
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,960
also because you don't give
a fuck about psychiatry.

466
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:52,960
That's not true.
No?

467
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:54,960
So, Rosie comes to your clinic

468
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:56,960
complaining about
an infection again,

469
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:58,960
and you still don't put
two and two together.

470
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:01,960
Instead, you just want me to confirm
that your assessment of Rosie

471
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,480
on the postnatal ward was right
and Maria's was wrong.

472
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:07,960
"They just need reassurance,"
you said.

473
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,960
But that was you... wasn't it?

474
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,160
I'm an obstetrician,
I'm not a psychiatrist.

475
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,960
A good obstetrician, they'd be able
to see psychiatric illness

476
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,160
during and after pregnancy,
but you didn't...

477
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:24,960
..and you need to make that right.

478
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:25,960
SHE SCOFFS

479
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:28,960
How?

480
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,960
Tomorrow, we're going to the MIU,
and you're gonna tell 'em the truth.

481
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:33,800
Why would I do that?

482
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,960
Because they're coming after me,
just like they did to Maria.

483
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:38,960
And because you're a victim too.

484
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:43,960
Cos this whole culture
will never change

485
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:44,960
unless someone puts a stop to it,

486
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:46,160
and we can do that -
YOU can do that.

487
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:47,960
And if you don't, then...

488
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:51,960
If you don't...

489
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:53,960
then other people
are gonna get hurt.

490
00:28:57,960 --> 00:28:58,960
See you tomorrow.

491
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:03,960
I'll let you know what time.

492
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,960
So, public and private
donations flood in

493
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:22,960
to cover the psych unit renovations,
but from this financial data...

494
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,960
..there's no evidence any
of the money was ever spent on it.

495
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,960
Obstetrics spent large amounts
on improvements

496
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:32,960
during the same period,

497
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:34,160
but we don't have
a concrete money trail.

498
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:38,960
You said the owner
of Asquith Archer Residential

499
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:40,160
was Tamsin...
..Warwick.

500
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,800
Warwick. What...
What do we know about her?

501
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:44,960
Well, she founded
the company in 2009

502
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:48,960
after she was working
at a successful property lawyer

503
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:49,960
for several years.

504
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:53,960
Asquith Archer specialises
in large-scale redevelopment

505
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:57,960
of, you know, industrial sites,
warehouses, mills.

506
00:29:57,960 --> 00:29:59,960
Not NHS property?

507
00:29:59,960 --> 00:30:01,960
No. This is their first.

508
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,960
So, who tipped them off
about the psych unit?

509
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:05,960
I'm still trying
to make a connection.

510
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,160
CALLAHAN SIGHS,
PHONE CHIMES

511
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:17,960
I've got an email from Dr Ford.

512
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:20,960
He wants to come in
first thing in the morning.

513
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:22,960
Well, should we let the police know?

514
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:23,960
We'll make them aware.

515
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:25,960
We'll speak to him first,

516
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:28,960
then they can escort him back
to the hospital once we're done.

517

CALLAHAN SIGHS

00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:36,960
JAMES EXHALES

519
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:52,000
RINGING TONE

520
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:07,640
WOMAN SOBS

521
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:09,960
WOMAN EXHALES SHARPLY

522
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:34,960
SOBS SOFTLY

523
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:06,800
Eric. I just, erm...

524
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,960
I just wanted to check
that you got my email. What?

525
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:11,960
I wondered if I could
take a sabbatical

526
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:13,000
before I started the new job.

527
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:16,960
There is no job for you, Kate.

528
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:19,320
Wait a minute. What do you mean?

529
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:22,960
I did everything you asked, I...
I did more than that.

530
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:25,800
I even agreed to James' assessment
for sectioning

531
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:26,960
against my better judgement.

532
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:28,960
Yeah, but did you really think
we'd keep employing you

533
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:30,960
after you'd slept with your trainee?

534
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:35,960
I had hoped that being
a consultant here for over a decade

535
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:37,960
might counted for something.

536
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:39,960
It doesn't.

537
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,640
And you can expect to hear
from the MIU.

538
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:51,960
CALLAHAN: Are you sure Dr Hernandez
has agreed to this?

539
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:53,960
She'll be here. She will.

540
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:01,160
Erm... yesterday, I met a couple

541
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:04,960
that Maria was trying to persuade to
take legal action against the Trust.

542
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:08,960
And, erm, Maria said that there
are dozens just like them,

543
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:10,800
that were mistreated in Maternity

544
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:12,960
that were then made to believe
that it was their own fault.

545
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:19,960
None of the incident reports
have names.

546
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:20,960
We can't do anything with them.

547
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:22,960
Yeah, but look at the dates.
There's dates.

548
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:24,960
So if we can just get access
to the Maternity database,

549
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:27,960
we can match dates to the patients
and we can show the discrepancy.

550
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:29,960
There's no way the Trust
is gonna give us access.

551
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:32,960
Even if they do, they'll... they'll
just say they were done by Maria,

552
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,960
a midwife they've
already discredited.

553
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:36,960
George is right.

554
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,960
We need someone on the inside
who's willing to speak out

555
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:41,960
about what's been happening,

556
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:43,960
confirm the notes
have been falsified.

557
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:47,960
Look, if Sophia's not gonna help us,
what about the couple you met?

558
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:49,960
No, no, they're too scared
of getting involved

559
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:50,960
in expensive legal action

560
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:53,160
without there being
a guarantee of success.

561
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:08,960
I should have done this sooner.

562
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:12,960
I'll help you.
I'll tell the truth...

563
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:15,960
about Rosie and Toni...

564
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:20,160
..and all the other cases I've seen

565
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:22,960
where negligence
has been covered up.

566
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:24,960
You'd be implicating yourself.

567
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:25,960
And you could get struck off.

568
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:30,960
The Trust needs to be
held to account.

569
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:34,960
I'll be your whistle-blower.

570
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,960
I'd like to extend
a special welcome

571
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:51,960
to this month's board of directors
meeting to Dr Callahan and Dr Adjei,

572
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:54,960
who'll take us through the findings
of their recent investigation

573
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:57,960
into Dr Ford's management
of Rosie Newman.

574
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:00,160
We're very grateful
for you accepting the invitation

575
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:01,960
to attend today,

576
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:03,960
and we hope it gives you
an idea of the ways

577
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:07,960
we're striving to create
a transparent, no-blame culture

578
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:10,960
with patient safety very much
at the centre. Over to you.

579
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:14,960
Oh, we only agreed to come because
of the legendary four-course lunch

580
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:16,960
you put on after, so don't worry,
we'll keep it brief.

581
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:19,960
We were asked by you
to review the actions

582
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:23,960
of one of your junior doctors
following the death of Rosie Newman.

583
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:26,960
Our investigation highlighted
several issues,

584
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:29,960
not just with Dr Ford's
management of Mrs Newman,

585
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:31,160
but also the Psychiatry department.

586
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:34,960
However...

587
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:36,960
over the course
of our investigation,

588
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:38,960
we have built a picture of a trust

589
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,960
masquerading as
an award-winning provider

590
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:44,960
of quality health care
to the local population.

591
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:46,960
We've interviewed your staff
and your patients,

592
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:50,960
and you've presided over
a dangerous maternity unit

593
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:52,960
whilst allowing the Psychiatry
department to crumble.

594
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:54,960
You can stop there.
We're nearly done.

595
00:35:55,960 --> 00:36:00,960
Within Maternity, you created
a toxic, bullying culture of fear,

596
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:02,960
employing intimidation tactics

597
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:05,960
and the threat of referral
to regulatory bodies

598
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:07,960
to silence anyone
who raised concerns.

599
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:11,960
Patients like Rosie Newman
and Toni Campbell-Brown

600
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:15,960
experienced traumatic births,
and you covered them up.

601
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:20,960
You offered no protection for
whistle-blowers like Glyn Armitage,

602
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:22,000
Lina Hussain,

603
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:23,960
Maria Carter.

604
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:30,960
Three years ago, you commissioned
a valuation for the Psychiatry Unit.

605
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:33,960
That estimated its value
at 32 million.

606
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:37,960
Every single one of you signed off
on this proposal to sell the unit.

607
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:41,640
You lied to staff,
claiming you were working hard

608
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:42,960
to keep the Psych Unit open,

609
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:45,960
when, all along, you were
manipulating our investigation

610
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:48,960
so that our conclusions
would support what you wanted -

611
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:49,960
the Psych Unit's closure.

612
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:54,160
That is a gross misrepresentation
of what this Trust has been doing.

613
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:56,960
We made an executive decision
to channel funds

614
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:58,960
into the departments
that needed it most.

615
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:00,960
Precisely.

616
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:04,960
Money that should have been used
to restore the Psychiatry building

617
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:07,960
and ensure its safety
was funnelled to Maternity.

618
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:10,960
You knew a run-down,
poorly performing Psych Unit

619
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:12,960
would be easier to close.

620
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:17,000
When you realised the building's
value, the decision was easy.

621
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:21,000
But how many of you knew that
your that you Medical Director

622
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,960
intended to personally
profit from the sale?

623
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,960
That his brother's wife,
Tamsin Warwick,

624
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:31,960
owned the property company
set up to win the contract

625
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:33,960
once the tender became public?

626
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:36,960
You valued the Psych building
at 32 million,

627
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:38,960
but Tamsin Warwick's company

628
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,960
estimates they'll make upwards
of £60 million

629
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:44,960
from turning the building
into luxury flats,

630
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:47,960
the majority of which will go
straight into a parent company

631
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:51,960
that's jointly owned
by Tamsin's husband, Rupert,

632
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:54,800
and his brother, Eric Sawers.

633
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:57,960
You have got to be kidding me.

634
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:00,000
You have brought this profession
into disrepute,

635
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:03,960
and you have caused
unquantifiable damage

636
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:05,960
to public faith
in the health service.

637
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:09,960
But you will pay
for the damage that you've caused.

638
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:11,960
By the time we're done,

639
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:14,960
this Trust will be tied up
in legal action

640
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:16,960
for years to come.

641
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:20,000
FRANTIC CHATTER

642
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:35,960
DOOR CLOSES

643
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:40,160
How could you?

644
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:43,960
I've been fired, George.

645
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:48,960
I'm really sorry,
but I had no choice.

646
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:57,960
That's what your job really does.

647
00:38:57,960 --> 00:38:59,160
It destroys people.

648
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:10,000
KNOCKING

649
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:21,480
I know I'm the last person
that you wanna see,

650
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:22,640
but I just, erm...

651
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:26,960
I wanted to apologise.

652
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:30,960
I should have found a way
to say it sooner, but, erm...

653
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:34,640
..I really am so sorry.

654
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:43,960
BABY CRIES

655
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:48,000
I'd better go.

656
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:13,960
I strongly believe that
if Dr Hernandez had disclosed

657
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:17,480
Maria Carter's prior concerns
about Rosie's mental health...

658
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:21,320
..I would have made
different clinical decisions

659
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:22,960
during that first review.

660
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:27,960
The fact that this crucial
patient history was withheld from me

661
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:32,320
speaks to wider cultural issues
within QM's Obstetric department...

662
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:34,960
..that were beyond my control...

663
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:39,960
..but negatively affected
the quality of care Rosie received.

664
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:43,960
'Throughout my career,

665
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:48,960
'I've always strived to put
the interests of my patients first.'

666
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:52,960
It's what I tried to do
with Rosie...

667
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:56,480
..especially during
her second review,

668
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:59,960
when I saw how
she'd been restrained.

669
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:04,960
Yet I accept that
my clinical judgement may,

670
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:07,960
in recent times,
have been less sound.

671
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:12,960
But this is a direct consequence
of the pressure,

672
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:17,960
the stress, the occasional paranoia
and the resulting lack of trust

673
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:20,960
in my colleagues that the MIU's
investigation has created.

674
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:25,640
I would be grateful if the panel
could take that into account.

675
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:27,960
Thank you.

676
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:34,320
Dr Ford? We're ready.

677
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:44,960
Dr Ford's initial review
of Mrs Newman was acceptable,

678
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:47,640
given the extenuating circumstances.

679
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:50,960
The same cannot be said
of his later assessment.

680
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:54,960
A simple conversation
with Mrs Newman's husband

681
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:57,960
would have provided Dr Ford
with the information needed

682
00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:00,960
to ensure she received
adequate sedation prior to transfer.

683
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:04,800
While the coroner
is yet to determine

684
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:05,960
whether Mrs Newman's fall

685
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:08,480
was a premeditated
or impulsive act...

686
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:12,960
..it was Dr Ford's duty
to keep Mrs Newman safe.

687
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:14,960
He failed to do that.

688
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:19,480
Regarding Ms Templeton,

689
00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:22,960
the panel accepts Dr Ford
did not supply

690
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:24,960
the drugs she overdosed on.

691
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:29,000
However, in taking Ms Templeton
to a distant A&E

692
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:32,000
and arranging her transfer
off his ward,

693
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:37,960
Dr Ford put his career
above her best interests,

694
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:39,960
which is far from the accepted
professional standard.

695
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:44,960
We have therefore concluded
Dr Ford's fitness to practise

696
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:47,960
is impaired by reason of misconduct
and incompetence.

697
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:52,960
A serious breach of good medical
practice has taken place.

698
00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:56,640
However...

699
00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:01,000
..Dr Ford's complete erasure
from the medical register

700
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:03,000
would not be in the public interest.

701
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:06,960
Dr Ford has demonstrated insight...

702
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:10,960
..and the risk of him repeating
the aforementioned actions is low.

703
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:16,160
As such, we feel
a 12-month suspension

704
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:19,960
sufficiently reflects
the seriousness of the incidents.

705
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:22,960
Dr Ford's case will be reviewed

706
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:25,960
prior to the end
of the suspension period

707
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:27,960
and a decision made
as to whether or not

708
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:30,960
he can return to clinical practice.

709
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:47,960
WOMAN: Well done, James.

710
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:50,960
Do you guys mind if we, er,
talk about this outside?

711
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:52,960
Of course.

712
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:54,320
INDISTINCT
CONVERSATION

713
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:10,960
How do you take it?

714
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:14,320
Oh, milk, no sugar. Thanks.

715
00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:25,960
We built that swing for Liam,
what was it, six, seven years ago?

716
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:27,960
Er, just before his fourth birthday.

717
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:32,480
I am...

718
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:35,960
I am so sorry.

719
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:37,960
Oh, that's... that's not
why we asked you here.

720
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:40,320
No, but I feel I need to explain.

721
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:44,960
I was told
all the checks had been done.

722
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:47,960
Everything seemed OK.

723
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:54,320
As soon as I injected the drug, I...
I knew something was wrong.

724
00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:58,960
We tried. We tried and tried
to resuscitate him...

725
00:44:59,960 --> 00:45:02,000
..but he was already so weak
from the cancer.

726
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:10,320
We were advised
not to have any contact with you

727
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:12,000
during the inquest and the trial.

728
00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:18,160
But the way that the hospital
and your colleagues

729
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:21,960
pushed... all the blame onto you

730
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:24,960
instead of acknowledging
the problems,

731
00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:28,320
that allowed a mistake like this
to happen in the first place,

732
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:29,960
it was hard to hear.

733
00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:32,960
We really felt for you.

734
00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:36,960
So when we read that
you'd left clinical practice,

735
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:39,000
well, I mean, deep down we knew,

736
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:43,960
but we hoped that it wasn't
because of Liam's death.

737
00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:49,960
But we don't blame you...

738
00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:53,960
..and we need you to know that.

739
00:45:58,960 --> 00:45:59,960
Thank you.

740
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:04,480
SOFTLY: Thank you.

Nice to see you all.

Hey. Look at him.
Hey, man.

MAN LAUGHS

Hey, man.
Nice to see you too.

You could go home

751
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:53,480
I'm sorry.

See you.
# It's just medicine

You've got a beautiful brain

758
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:43,320
# From all the medicine

759
00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:46,960
