coroner will read statement that will be passed to press after

-Lots of discussion about other cases and whether Article 2 [ECHR - right to life] can be engaged or not, sounds like it won’t

 

Has everyone got sound?

 

Coroner is giving a very detailed statement

 

She’s setting out the key parts of evidence I guess she’ll end with her finding, it’s taking a while.

 

A few tweets of what has been said so far

 

We are at the first discharge (March 21) in the Coroners statement.

I can see we will have a lot to discuss later.
Bear in mind the 27 September will be purely looking at whether Prevention of Future Deaths report is required.

 

We are now up to the 2nd admission. {I will add text to this a little later to describe what the tweet says}

Failure to refer to DR Strain and GP at the centre of control they failed to recognise the danger. This could have contributed to Maeve’s decline. Not enough determine it caused her death.



Dr Roy - was confident she would not survive aspiration

 

The Coroner is up to Maeve’s 3rd admission. She’s been reading her findings of fact for around an hour.

[edit at 16.30- Paul Keeble made a correction, we are still on 2nd admission in May]

 

My heart is thumping.
I’ll take a breather.
Check in later.
Thanks for the reports @MrMagoo.

 

Lots of tweets coming through about Dr Praag / Dr Julia Prague

 

Glad it’s useful to non-X users, I expect verdict by 4pm

 

Thanks for the reports @MrMagoo. Family ( rarely seen) arrived just as inquest due to start. Got into courtroom but never established sound from coroner. Very appreciative of your efforts.

 

“Still not sure where the Coroner is going with this” ME Advocates Ireland

we seem to be at late May 21, second discharge.

 

We are now up to third admission. This shouldn’t usually go on later that 4.30pm although it could.

 

Paul doesn’t seem to be opitimistic based on what he’s heard

 

Nobody on twitter is feeling positive about the statement so far. It’s a detailed review of evidence and the press release etc will probably sum up the facts much better than the tweets could. It’s going over the evidence we’ve all heard.

But we still have the Prevention of Future Deaths hearing on 27 September.

ME Advocates Ireland - as we see it, overarching points
1. NO contingency plan if artificial feeding failed, hospital or community
2. ZERO Severe ME or ME expertise anywhere

 

NG was delayed. DrRoy didn’t receive Fludrcoritzone for sitting up.staff didn’t understand how energy envelope was eroded.

was this drug material [in her care/death??] coroner not clear.

 

Coroner - should have been a plan if NG failed. If she couldn’t tolerate NG she wouldn’t have tolerated NJ

 

There’s a lot coming out I have not heard before. Will report on it later as I’m hoping the verdict is imminent. Tweeters still not sure where this is going.

 

It’s moved on to social services evidence.

Lack of DCC services did not cause death - coroner (via Paul Keeble)

Coroner did not find any Consultants didn’t believe it was a real disease. Impressed by their compassion.
