Auxiliary nurse isn't a nurse. She wouldn't have known dosages etc. or monitored syringe pumps

That did occur to me, yes. But it also occurred to me that you don't need clinical qualifications to recognise that patients put on a syringe driver leave an empty bed behind soon after. Or even to form an opinion about the attitudes/actions of clinical staff.

I take your point but I really think that it was the qualified staff who should have been policing each other's actions.

To be fair, there was a group of whistleblowing nurses saying pretty much the same thing too. They just got silenced. But the concerns they raised were broadly in keeping with the auxiliary nurses' conversation.
