The coroner's concerns
1. insufficient medical staffing
“I was told in evidence that the Trust has now consolidated the staffing rotas for the Emergency Department and Paediatrics Department, so that it is now easier to see any deficit as one deficit across two departments. That does not however, address the situation of how and why a situation in which only 60% of the doctors are available for these important services.”
2. insufficient medical staffing
“I am concerned about the sufficiency of the staffing arrangements.”
