Context
Stephen Cross, Director of Corporate Affairs and a former police officer, advised the Trust on how to handle the consultants’ concerns. His Thirlwall Inquiry evidence addresses how internal communications framed the concerns as an employment matter rather than a patient-safety escalation, and the question of whether police should have been contacted earlier.
