Can't help feeling that we might be 'mingling' court rulings and day-to-day behaviour now: but there are huge issues with 'investigators' only believing what the clinicians wrote down (I've had that 'attitude' from a PHSO investigator, myself).

1/n You want my opinion about that PCT woman - it was that she wasn't a very competent investigator, and the complexity of why things happened as they did after my mum's death was simply 'beyond her ability'. When I made my displeasure with her report clear, the PCT invited me

2/n to a meeting. I asked a simple question at that meeting, at one point (after my mum died, I had got 999 paramedics, police, and two district nurses in my home [coroner's officer turned up later] - as a collective 'headless chickens' seemed to fit) I asked 'if after a death

No, I can understand all that. I had to compartmentalise this fight into 2 fronts & handle them separately. 1. Accountability for our own experience. 2. Effect change to ensure similar can be avoided/minimised. One doesn't help the other though, for me. Mutually exclusive goals

I only do 2 - it seems almost impossible to make any progress, on just point 1!
