00:00Rosie, please don't, don't move!
00:04Why is he trying to blame Rosie's death on the birth?
00:07There was nothing normal about the brutality Rosie experienced.
00:11Sophia cancelled that referral. She's responsible for Rosie's death.
00:14The only doctors referred from QM to the MIU in the last three years
00:17were two anaesthetists and two junior doctors.
00:19Do you think the Trust pushed those patients to make a complaint?
00:22There is nothing the Trust won't do to protect the hospital's reputation!
00:26I had to rescue Sophia Hernandez last night.
00:28Forceps!
00:29We're compromising the baby, we need to do a caesarean.
00:31So why on earth did you persist with an assisted vaginal delivery
00:34instead of an emergency caesarean like Mr. Mansour told you to?
00:37It's the parents of the boy that died. They want to meet me.
00:40I thought you had a tribunal. You're cleared.
00:42Maybe they feel I owe them a better explanation.
00:45It's got nothing to do with Ben.
00:47Ruby, he's your tutor.
00:48It's not a big deal.
00:49It's a total and utter abuse of power!
00:52If you don't resign, I'll make sure you're struck off and never work again.
00:56If we merge with Oakwell, we'll be looking for a new director of psychiatry.
01:00You'd make a good candidate.
01:02There's just one thing that needs clearing up.
01:05You visited a nightclub with Felicity Templeton.
01:08You were in possession of ecstasy.
01:10Your mission?
01:11Yep. Drug and disease exacerbation of bipolar disorder.
01:13You're suspended with immediate effect.
01:15So you know about the referral.
01:16You know what they've done to Maria Carter.
01:21Maria!
01:45Well...
01:46They walk up.
01:48They walk up...
01:49..aant their life.
01:50They walk up...
01:51Or...
01:52I think they walk up.
01:53They have an entire house where they live.
01:54I always see hunt
01:55they long for the flies to save their life,
01:58etc.
02:00The adventure may be,
02:02not only hunt they not even.
02:04I only know how that's bad...
02:06It's the is Christopher Temple,
02:09that's, le-a- אנחנו.
02:10I don't know.
02:40I don't know.
03:10And when did you last speak to Miss Carter?
03:14Yesterday.
03:15You said you were concerned for her welfare.
03:20What made you concerned today?
03:25Sorry, what was the question?
03:27You were explaining what made you concerned enough to come over.
03:31And Maria was an old colleague.
03:33So I knew she'd been struggling with the pressure of the investigation.
03:36So when I saw her name up on the news, I...
03:39I was worried.
03:41I was worried.
03:42I was worried.
03:43I was worried.
03:43I was worried.
03:43Oh, my God.
04:13What are you doing?
04:24Oh, mate.
04:25I just want to borrow this.
04:26Fuck out of my fucking room.
04:29A former midwife from Queen Mother's University Hospital was found dead in her home yesterday morning.
04:47I can't believe it.
05:03It's just awful.
05:07Once I named it the press, I can see why she felt like she had no other option.
05:16Did you ever?
05:20Investigations go on for so long.
05:23It takes a toll on you.
05:24So, I'm meeting Dr. Armitage tomorrow afternoon.
05:31Dr. Hussain wants time to consider whether or not to get involved.
05:34If she agrees, would you meet her?
05:37Of course.
05:38Right.
05:39I'm going to do a deep dive into the maternity and its history, and I'll let you know if anything comes up.
05:44I need to speak to Dr. Hernandez.
05:53She's not here today.
05:54Can I help you?
05:54What about her consultant, Mr. Mansour?
05:55Well, he's just started his ward round, so he won't be available till...
05:59Excuse me.
06:00Hang on a minute.
06:02Hey!
06:03You shouldn't be on this ward.
06:07You know Maria Carter?
06:08She was found dead yesterday.
06:09If you don't leave my ward immediately, I'm calling in security.
06:12She killed herself because of you and your department.
06:14I've had enough of this.
06:15Then it's not what I'm doing with you.
06:16Who's been to it all?
06:17Who is she?
06:18Who's been to her all?
06:18Well, another midwife that you hounded out?
06:20What the hell are you talking about?
06:21What's going on?
06:22Call security, Chrissie.
06:23I want this lunatic off my ward.
06:25Don't worry, mate.
06:26I'm leaving.
06:26I'm leaving.
06:33I got to my knees, and I beg my mother, with the bottle in one hand, it's one or the other.
07:00And so it turns, again and again.
07:07She woke from a slumber, with a crippled stance.
07:12She said she missed my brother, and wanted one more chance.
07:18And so it turns, again and again.
07:22James?
07:24The wheel!
07:27What?
07:28Have you put a lock on the door?
07:30I'm working.
07:32But it's 2am, are you all right?
07:35Why do you keep asking me that?
07:36Because I'm worried about you.
07:39I'm fine.
07:40I have to finish my work.
07:47Please leave your message after the term.
07:50Ruby, where are you?
07:51Please call me back.
07:52Hey.
07:56Hey.
07:57Hey.
07:58Doctor Hussain's agreed to meet us, as long as it stays off the record.
08:03I suppose we can agree to that for now.
08:06If she says anything worthwhile, we'll just have to persuade her to let us use it.
08:15Everything okay with Ruby?
08:16No.
08:19She's upset because the uni have suspended that lecturer, and she thinks it's my fault.
08:25Is it?
08:26Nobody forced him to have inappropriate relations with his students, George.
08:30Okay, but did you report him?
08:32Okay.
08:33Look, I saw you looked him up on our database the other day, and you know that's a breach of data protection.
08:39Don't lecture me, George.
08:41I did what any decent parent would do.
08:51Thanks for agreeing to meet me.
08:54Maria and I worked together for a number of years on the maternity unit.
08:59She was one of the good ones.
09:00Being supervised was humiliating.
09:05The only reason I'm still a doctor now is because my parents would be devastated if I quit.
09:11There were rumors of whistleblowers silenced by disciplinary action.
09:16I didn't believe them.
09:17It didn't happen to me.
09:19Incident reports went nowhere.
09:22What happened to them?
09:23They just made it really difficult for us to submit serious incidents.
09:27Lots of forms to fill in, additional sign-offs.
09:31So everyone just did the simpler, high-risk form instead.
09:34Meaning the Trust reported much lower serious incident figures to the government.
09:41Why didn't any of the families involved pursue claims against the Trust?
09:44Some did.
09:46But they'd convinced them that trauma sustained during birth, the death of a baby or mother, was unavoidable.
09:51Or the patient's father.
09:54And that wasn't possible.
09:55They paid families off quickly, but with much lower amounts than they'd have got if they'd gone to court.
10:00I assumed people responsible for staff and patient well-being would value protecting us over a hospital's reputation.
10:10I'm so naive.
10:12That maternity unit is toxic.
10:15The arrogance and incompetence of some of the consultants.
10:20Can you name any of them?
10:21I know it feels difficult, but would you be willing to put that on record?
10:27I'd rather not.
10:30I can't.
10:31I can't.
10:31I can't.
10:33I can't.
10:34You
10:47Now peeking
10:50When's the submission deadline? I want everything ready to go by the end of the month
10:54Come on
10:57You've got this yeah
11:04Come on get dressed. I'll drop you off on my way into work. Oh yes, sir turn this around in seconds
11:34What are you doing? How long have you been sitting on this?
11:48You're probably too young to remember but about ten years ago QM had a major overhaul the trust was on the brink of bankruptcy
11:56Primarily because they were constantly compensating families for avoidable incidents within maternity
12:01The CQC rated the unit as inadequate and said something drastic had to change. Otherwise, they'd be shut down
12:07So award-winning obstetrician Eric Soares was appointed as the new chief medical director
12:13The trust felt he'd be well placed to bring about a new era of change alongside
12:18Aaron Mansoor QM's lead obstetrician
12:21Well within years they were winning regional and national awards and had one of the country's best normal birth rates
12:28Their cesarean rates were as low as 14% in 2020. Yep
12:33When most of the trusts were still hovering around 22 to 26%
12:38How do they turn things around so quickly must have cost a fortune exactly
12:44So I put in an urgent freedom of information request for the trust finances. They immediately blocked it but
12:50Trying to see if I can get around that
12:52Did you manage to get hold of their serious incident data?
12:58Yes
12:59The data QM submitted to the Department of Health is significantly better than nearby trusts of equivalent size
13:06But that tallies with what Dr. Armitage and Dr. Hussain said
13:10Even if they refuse to go on record, we've got something to go on
13:14That's not concrete evidence. We still need a witness on the inside who's prepared to go on record
13:25George are you alright?
13:29It's Gina
13:31Has something happened?
13:36I found something out that's almost certainly relevant to our investigation
13:41About Gina
13:43If I share this, I'll be breaching Gina's client confidentiality, which will definitely mean the end of our relationship
13:51Go on
13:53Gina's architecture firm is creating plans for a redesign of the psychiatry unit at QM
14:02But
14:03Gina's firm does luxury residential property not commercial sites
14:07Yes a client putting together a bid to purchase the psychiatry unit
14:12But how the psych unit isn't for sale?
14:16There's been no public consultation
14:19Something like that would take months years to set in motion
14:23Who's the client ask with Archer residential?
14:26There's nothing on this anywhere
14:38So why are ask with Archer putting together a bid for a sale that doesn't exist?
14:42I don't know, but it seems like they've been preparing this for years
14:44It seems like they've been preparing this for years
14:46Gina has details of the whole proposal
14:49The value of the land
14:51How much that will increase once the building is being repurposed
14:54And the less appealing psychiatric patients have moved out
14:57We don't have enough mental health beds as it is
14:59And they want to close down the county's biggest psych unit for a bit of profit
15:02I know
15:03How long has Gina known about your connection to this?
15:05Uh, she realised a few weeks ago
15:08But decided not to tell me
15:10But ethically, I mean morally it's wrong, can't she see that?
15:15She said for weeks I've been going on about how risky the place is
15:20Patients aren't safe, staff don't know what they're doing
15:24Building isn't fit for purpose
15:27Right
15:29I want to know everything about ask with Archer residential
15:32Gina's gonna kill me
15:33Totally
15:34I'm sorry, George, but this is too important to ignore
15:41Okay, with this information I can expedite the request for the trust's finance info
15:46Oh, and George
15:49Thank you
15:51I do understand how hard this must have been
16:03All his parents are in the house
16:04James moved in and moved in and moved in and moved in
16:05We've never had lots of doors
16:06He doesn't open it, we can break it down
16:07I don't want to be
16:08James?
16:09Michelle doored away from the adult county
16:10Have you opened the door?
16:11James!
16:12James?
16:13Michelle doored away from the adult county
16:14Have you opened the door?
16:15If he doesn't open it, we can break it down and get a lock.
16:20Come on, please.
16:22James?
16:23Michelle Dawnway from the adult care team.
16:25Have you opened the door?
16:30Come in.
16:34Why aren't you at work?
16:36We took the day off to be here.
16:39We're here to assess your mental health, James.
16:42See if there's anything we can do to help you.
16:44There's nothing wrong with my mental health.
16:46These were found in the bedside cabinet.
16:50You know you shouldn't be mixing these tablets together.
16:53Your family and colleagues have expressed some concerns about you.
16:56About what?
16:58Putting a lock on your door.
16:59Well, I'd have a little privacy.
17:01Lying to your friends about what's been happening at work.
17:03He's not my friend.
17:05He's my sister's boyfriend.
17:06Why didn't you say you've been suspended?
17:08James, do you know what day it is?
17:11Yeah, it's Thursday.
17:14It's Friday, James.
17:15You've been asleep since Wednesday night.
17:17Well, I've been sleeping very well.
17:18I took a sleeping tablet.
17:19It must have knocked me out.
17:20I spoke to your GP.
17:22You've asked for a number of different sedatives this last few weeks.
17:25OK, I really don't, genuinely don't understand why you're here.
17:31Marth said you'd struggled with your mood before in your last job.
17:34Right.
17:35You got depressed when a nurse was nearly killed on your ward.
17:39She's worried it's happening again.
17:40Patient jumped to their death in front of you.
17:43And according to the police, you recently found the body of a close colleague.
17:47And that must have been incredibly stressful for you.
17:50Maria wasn't a close colleague.
17:51We were working on something together.
17:54It's about the trust.
17:55Well, what were you working on?
18:00OK.
18:01Things have been a little stressful recently, yeah.
18:06But that's got nothing to do with my mental health.
18:08It's about the trust.
18:09And I don't know why, but they're trying to pin the blame for Rosie Newman's death on me.
18:13And now Maria was Rosie's midwife, so she knew that the trust were trying to cover something up.
18:17And she's been piecing it together.
18:19Working with a woman called Victoria Hall.
18:20She's another midwife, I think.
18:22And they were going to whistleblow.
18:23But whatever they've got on the trust was serious enough for Maria to be silenced.
18:26Silenced?
18:27Yes.
18:28By the trust?
18:29Yes.
18:30OK.
18:31Well, where does Victoria Hall work?
18:35I don't know.
18:36What else did Maria say about Victoria?
18:39She didn't.
18:41She just mentioned her once, maybe twice.
18:45Are you sure Victoria Hall's a real person?
18:48Yes.
18:49But you've never met her and Maria didn't tell you anything else about her?
18:54You can see my problem here, James.
18:57Sometimes, when people are struggling with their mental health, they hear or see things that aren't there.
19:02You know that.
19:03Yeah, OK.
19:04Look, the key issue here is that the closer that I get to the truth, then the more the trust tried to stop me.
19:10Look, they ruined Maria's life.
19:13And when that wasn't enough, then they killed her.
19:15If I'm not careful, they'll do the same to me.
19:17Let me get this straight.
19:18You believe the hospital trust murdered a former member of staff and they're going to do the same to you?
19:24Well, when you put it like that, it sounds mad.
19:26I get that, but yes, I do.
19:28But they've even taken pictures of me, right?
19:31They've used them to turn a colleague against me.
19:33If you don't believe...
19:35If you don't believe me, then ask Kate.
19:38She knows.
19:40Kate?
19:41McAllister.
19:42Dr. McAllister.
19:44James, she requested this mental health assessment in the first place.
19:49She recognised the whole thing.
19:52She's a fucking liar!
19:57Look, James.
19:59We think you need respite in a therapeutic environment where you can focus on getting better.
20:04Are you willing to come voluntarily?
20:07Or do we need to consider bringing you in on a section?
20:13Sir, it's fine.
20:16I'll come voluntarily.
20:22It's great we found you a private bed at such short notice.
20:25This hospital's like a luxury spa. You won't want to leave.
20:28I know it doesn't feel like it now, but it's from your own good, James.
20:34I've only sectioned a handful of doctors in 14 years doing this job,
20:38and none of them have regretted it.
20:42It's a nice place, I've heard.
20:44Food's not too bad, either.
20:47There's a gym.
20:49Take your workout gear with you.
20:53It'll be fine, it won't be long.
20:55A couple of weeks.
20:57Go for walks every day.
20:59I'm not sure you're notified then.
21:02Are you okay?
21:04I'm in a bit of a panic attack. I have them sometimes.
21:08Hold on, James. Can you pull over?
21:10Yeah, just here, thank you.
21:20All right.
21:21All right, just focus on your breathing.
21:23Still calm.
21:25I've got some water in the car.
21:31Hey!
21:32Hey!
21:33Hey!
21:34Hi.
21:35Yes.
21:36Please, please.
21:37Yeah, I need to report a patient who's just absconded.
21:39Thanks to Aaron, we've managed to smooth things over with the Patel family.
21:55So I can return to work?
21:58Yes.
21:59We're keen to have you back.
22:01What about the investigation?
22:03Freya Patel had a medical condition which she didn't disclose to us.
22:07That's what complicated the delivery.
22:09What was the condition?
22:11Some endocrine disorder.
22:13We've offered her genetic testing for any future pregnancies.
22:16She was happy with that.
22:21Leave it alone, Sophia.
22:22You know as well as I do that you're complicit in some of the worst incidents that have happened on that unit.
22:27If it were up to me, you'd be gone.
22:30But I'm giving you a second chance.
22:32You can thank Mr. Mansour.
22:34We've drawn up an NDA for you.
22:36Covering begs Patel.
22:37Take it home.
22:39Read it carefully.
22:40Once you've signed it, you can return to work.
22:42Straight away.
22:49These are the Trust's financial records.
22:55That's one way to slow us down, I guess.
22:57That bunch of motherfucking Jobsworths.
23:02Where do we start?
23:05When I was looking for news reports on the maternity unit, there was an article from years ago about the cost of critical repairs to the psychiatry unit.
23:14Here.
23:17It was going to cost the Trust at least 7 million to carry out the essential building repairs, so they tried to raise funds through various charity events.
23:25It says here they won a government grant of 2 million to help modernise the psych unit in 2015.
23:31Yes, and in a later article, they mentioned that charity fundraising had already reached nearly 4 million.
23:38So they spent all that money, and the unit's still falling apart.
23:42But what if...
23:43The repairs were never carried out.
23:47There's no way that they invested over 6 million in that building.
23:53Don't just stand there. Help me.
23:55Don't just stand there!
23:56What is the drivers that need?
23:57This is crazy.
23:58You know, I look at these car.
23:59I'm going to get here on the bus, and I can't find a stock in store.
24:00I'll be in there.
24:01I'm going to get you on the bus.
24:02I'm in there!
24:03I'm going in there.
24:04Here.
24:06I can't see.
24:08You can go in there!
24:09What are you doing?
24:28Mother, I don't have time to explain.
24:31Police are looking for you.
24:33James, I'm really worried about you.
24:35I don't know what to do.
24:36Just trust me.
24:38Please.
24:39Where are you going?
24:45To fix this.
24:50Okay.
24:51You sure it's today?
25:17Yeah, yeah.
25:18And fortnight ago at the same time.
25:20It's under the name Maria Carter.
25:23I can't find anything.
25:25Can I have a look?
25:26See, there's no bookings for Maria Carter.
25:35Wait.
25:36You're here to meet Maria too?
25:38Yeah.
25:39But, um...
25:42Maria won't be coming.
25:44Have you got a minute?
25:45Maria contacted us out of the blue about a month ago.
25:48She wanted to talk to us about what went wrong during Aaron's birth.
25:51Yeah.
25:52We were confused.
25:53We thought there were problems at the time, but the hospital reassured us Kirstie's experience
25:58was normal.
25:59We asked for the medical notes, but they didn't mention any of the awful things that happened,
26:04so we dropped it and tried to get on with our lives.
26:07Did Maria ever explain to you what her intentions were?
26:09Well, she'd met with another couple like us, and if we were willing, she wanted to support
26:15us in taking legal action against the hospital.
26:18We really weren't sure now when Maria gone, what chance have we got?
26:25We were going to take care of her, and we were going to take care of her.
26:55Can I get you something?
27:11I'm fine.
27:12So, who told you about the referral?
27:16Maria.
27:17So, Maria's concerned about Rosie's mental health, because she told you that Rosie's
27:27anxiety about an infection was pathological, but you just shut down her concerns.
27:34Why did you stop seeing your patients as people?
27:37Maria didn't clearly articulate what was wrong with Rosie.
27:40I couldn't just keep her on the ward when I couldn't see anything wrong with her.
27:44So, you miss the early signs of Rosie's psychosis, because you don't see the psychological
27:47impact of birth on your patients, and also because you don't give a fuck about psychiatry.
27:51That's not true.
27:52No?
27:53So, Rosie comes to your clinic complaining about an infection again, and you still don't
27:57put two and two together.
27:59Instead, you just want me to confirm that your assessment of Rosie on the postnatal ward
28:02was right, and Maria's was wrong.
28:05They just need reassurance, you said.
28:08But that was you, wasn't it?
28:12I'm an obstetrician.
28:13I'm not a psychiatrist.
28:15A good obstetrician.
28:16They'd be able to see psychiatric illness during and after pregnancy, but you didn't.
28:23And you need to make that right.
28:28How?
28:29Tomorrow we're going to the MIU, and you're going to tell them the truth.
28:31Why would I do that?
28:32Because they're coming after me, just like they did to Maria, and because you were a
28:38victim, too.
28:41Because this whole culture will never change unless someone puts a stop to it, and we can
28:45do that, you can do that, and if you don't, then...
28:47If you don't, then other people are going to get hurt.
28:57See you tomorrow.
28:58So, public and private donations flood in to cover the psych unit renovations, but from
29:21this financial data, there's no evidence any of the money was ever spent on it.
29:26Obstetrics spent large amounts on improvements during the same period, but we don't have
29:33a concrete money trail.
29:35You said the owner of Asquith Archer Residential was Tamsin...
29:39Warwick.
29:40Warwick.
29:40What do we know about her?
29:42Well, she founded the company in 2009, after she was working at a successful property life
29:48several years.
29:49Asquith Archer specialises in large-scale redevelopment of, you know, industrial sites, warehouses,
29:56mills...
29:57Not NHS property?
29:59No.
30:00This is her first.
30:02So who tipped them off about the psych unit?
30:04I'm still trying to make a connection.
30:05I've got an email from Dr. Ford.
30:18He wants to come in first thing in the morning.
30:21Well, should we let the police now?
30:23We'll make them aware.
30:24We'll speak to him first.
30:25Then they can escort him back to the hospital once we're done.
30:28We'll be right back to the hospital once we're done.
30:58We'll be right back to the hospital once we're done.
31:28Oh, my God.
31:58Eric, I just, um, I just wanted to check that you got my email.
32:08What?
32:09I wondered if I could take sabbatical before I started the new job.
32:14There is no job for you, Kate.
32:17Wait a minute. What do you mean?
32:20I did everything you asked. I did more than that.
32:23I even agreed to James' assessment for sectioning against my better judgment.
32:26Yeah, but did you really think we'd keep employing you after you'd slept with your trainee?
32:33I had hoped that being a consultant here for over a decade might count for something.
32:38It doesn't.
32:42And you can expect to hear from the MIU.
32:44Are you sure Dr. Hernandez has agreed to this?
32:52She'll be here. She will.
33:00Yesterday I met a couple that Maria was trying to persuade to take legal action against the trust.
33:04Maria said that there are dozens just like them that were mistreated in maternity that were then made to believe that it was their fault.
33:12None of the incident reports have names. We can't do anything with them.
33:20Yeah, but look at dates. There's dates.
33:22So if we can just get access to the maternity database, then we can match the dates to the patients and we can show the discrepancy.
33:27There's no way the trust is going to give us access.
33:30Even if they do, they'll just say they were done by Maria, a midwife they've already discredited.
33:34George is right. We need someone on the inside who's willing to speak out about what's been happening.
33:41Confirm the notes have been falsified.
33:44Look, if Sophia's not going to help us, what about that couple you met?
33:47Well, it's too scared of getting involved in an expensive legal action without there being a guarantee of success.
33:52I should have done this sooner.
34:08I'll help you. I'll tell the truth about Rosie and Tony and all the other cases I've seen where negligence has been covered up.
34:21I'd like to extend a special welcome to this month's Board of Directors meeting to Dr. Callaghan and Dr. Ajay.
34:51who will take us through the findings of their recent investigation into Dr. Ford's management of Rosie Newman.
34:57We're very grateful for you accepting the invitation to attend today.
35:01And we hope it gives you an idea of the ways we're striving to create a transparent, no-blame culture with patient safety very much at the centre.
35:10Over to you.
35:10Oh, we only agreed to come because of the legendary four-course lunch you put on after, so don't worry, we'll keep it brief.
35:17We were asked by you to review the actions of one of your junior doctors following the death of Rosie Newman.
35:23Our investigation highlighted several issues, not just with Dr. Ford's management of Mrs. Newman, but also the psychiatry department.
35:31However, over the course of our investigation, we have built a picture of a trust masquerading as an award-winning provider of quality healthcare to the local population.
35:44We've interviewed your staff and your patients, and you've presided over a dangerous maternity unit whilst allowing the psychiatry department to crumble.
35:52You can stop there.
35:53We're nearly done.
35:54Within maternity, you created a toxic, bullying culture of fear, employing intimidation tactics and the threat of referral to regulatory bodies to silence anyone who raised concerns.
36:08Patients like Rosie Newman and Tony Campbell Brown experienced traumatic births, and you covered them up.
36:16You offered no protection for whistleblowers like Glyn Armitage, Lena Hussain, Maria Carter.
36:25Three years ago, you commissioned a valuation for the psychiatry unit that estimated its value at $32 million.
36:34Every single one of you signed off on this proposal to sell the unit.
36:37You lied to staff, claiming you were working hard to keep the psych unit open,
36:42when all along you were manipulating our investigation so that our conclusions would support what you wanted, the psych unit's closure.
36:49That is a gross misrepresentation of what this trust has been doing.
36:54We made an executive decision to channel funds into the departments that needed it most.
36:59Precisely.
37:00Money that should have been used to restore the psychiatry building and ensure its safety was funneled to maternity.
37:07You knew a run-down, poorly performing psych unit would be easier to close.
37:13When you realised the building's value, the decision was easy.
37:18But how many of you knew that your medical director intended to personally profit from the sale?
37:24That his brother's wife, Tamsin Warwick, owned the property company set up to win the contract once the tender became public?
37:33You valued the site building at $32 million, but Tamsin Warwick's company estimates they'll make upwards of £60 million
37:41from turning the building into luxury flats, the majority of which will go straight into a parent company
37:47that's jointly owned by Tamsin's husband, Rupert, and his brother, Eric Soars.
37:53You have got to be kidding me.
37:57You have brought this profession into disrepute,
38:00and you have caused unquantifiable damage to public faith in the health service.
38:06But you will pay for the damage that you've caused.
38:10By the time we're done, this trust will be tied up in legal action for years to come.
38:16How could you?
38:41I've been fired, George.
38:43I'm really sorry by no choice.
38:55That's what your job really does.
38:57It destroys people.
39:13I know I'm the last person that you want to see, but I just, um...
39:23I wanted to apologize.
39:27I should have found a way to say it sooner, but, um...
39:31Really, I'm so sorry.
39:33I'll be right back.
39:47I'll be right back.
39:47I strongly believe that if Dr. Hernandez had disclosed Maria Carter's prior concerns about Rosie's mental health,
40:16I would have made different clinical decisions during that first review.
40:23The fact that this crucial patient history was withheld from me speaks to wider cultural issues within QM's obstetric department
40:32that were beyond my control, but negatively affected the quality of care that Rosie received.
40:42Throughout my career, I've always strived to put the interests of my patients first.
40:48It's what I tried to do with Rosie, especially during her second review when I saw how she'd been restrained.
40:59Yet I accept that my clinical judgment may, in recent times, have been less sound.
41:07But this is a direct consequence of the pressure, the stress, the occasional paranoia and the resulting lack of trust in my colleagues that the MIU's investigation has created.
41:20And I'd be grateful if the panel could take that into account.
41:32Dr. Ford, we're ready.
41:33Dr. Ford's initial review of Mrs. Newman was acceptable, given the extenuating circumstances.
41:47The same cannot be said of his later assessment.
41:49A simple conversation with Mrs. Newman's husband would have provided Dr. Ford with the information needed to ensure she received adequate sedation prior to transfer.
42:02While the coroner is yet to determine whether Mrs. Newman's fall was a premeditated or impulsive act,
42:09it was Dr. Ford's duty to keep Mrs. Newman safe.
42:13He failed to do that.
42:15Regarding Ms. Templeton, the panel accepts Dr. Ford did not supply the drugs she overdosed on.
42:25However, in taking Ms. Templeton to a distant A&E and arranging her transfer off his ward,
42:32Dr. Ford put his career above her best interest, which is far from the accepted professional standard.
42:39We have therefore concluded Dr. Ford's fitness to practice is impaired by reason of misconduct and incompetence.
42:48A serious breach of good medical practice has taken place.
42:54However, Dr. Ford's complete eraser from the medical register would not be in the public interest.
43:02Dr. Ford has demonstrated insight, and the risk of him repeating the aforementioned actions is low.
43:11As such, we feel a 12-month suspension sufficiently reflects the seriousness of the incidents.
43:19Dr. Ford's case will be reviewed prior to the end of the suspension period, and decision made as to whether or not he can return to clinical practice.
43:29Dr. Ford would you guys mind if we, uh, talk about this outside?
43:50Dr. Ford was on the line.
43:52Dr. Ford was on the line.
43:54No wait.
43:55No wait.
43:56No wait.
43:57No wait.
43:58How do you take it?
44:11Milk.
44:12Merci.
44:12Thanks.
44:20We built that swing for Liam.
44:22What was it?
44:23Six?
44:24Seven years ago?
44:25Just before his fourth birthday.
44:28I am.
44:34I'm so sorry.
44:35That's not why we asked you here.
44:38No, but I feel I need to explain.
44:41I was told all the checks had been done.
44:45Everything seemed okay.
44:50As soon as I injected the drug, I knew something was wrong.
44:53We tried, we tried and tried to resuscitate him, but he was already so weak from the cancer.
45:02We were advised not to have any contacts with you during the inquest and the trial.
45:11But the way that the hospital and your colleagues pushed all the blame onto you, instead of acknowledging the problems that allowed a mistake like this to happen in the first place, it was hard to hear.
45:29We really felt for you.
45:31So, when we read that you'd left clinical practice, well, deep down we knew, but we hoped that it wasn't because of Liam's death.
45:43But we don't blame you.
45:48And we need you to know that.
46:07Nice to see you all.
46:08Hey, hey.
46:09Do you like to get in?
46:11Yes, I see you all.
46:12Can we not see you all?
46:13Hey.
46:14Hi.
46:17Hi.
46:18Hi.
46:19Hi.
46:20Hi.
46:21Hi.

46:23Hi.
46:24Hi.
46:25Hi.
46:26Hi.
46:27Hi.
46:28Hi.
46:29Hi.
46:30Hi.
46:31Hi.
46:32Hi.
46:33Hi.
46:34Hi.
46:35Nice to see you too.
46:37Nice to see you too.
46:51I'm sorry.
46:59See you.
47:05You could still be what you want to, what you said you were.
