Context

Dr Ravi Jayaram’s second day of Thirlwall evidence. Cross-examination on the sequence of events around Child K, the relationship between his contemporaneous 2016 notes and his later oral testimony, and the unit’s staffing picture during the cluster.

Key passages

Counsel to the Inquiry

Dr Jayaram, your 2016 note records that the endotracheal tube was found to be dislodged when you entered the nursery. Your 2024 testimony added that Ms Letby was standing over the baby. Can you explain that difference?
Thirlwall Inquiry — day 2

Dr Ravi Jayaram

My 2016 note was not intended to be a full record of the incident. The 2024 testimony is a fuller account. I do not accept that there is a material inconsistency between them.
