00:00I am truly sorry for the pain that may have been prolonged by any decisions or actions that I
00:09took in good faith. I am very grateful to have this opportunity to take part openly and honestly
00:18in this inquiry and I hope that answers can be arrived at and recommendations made.
00:26There was a very objective support and rebuttal to the proposition that this one nurse was
00:34deliberately causing harm. The rebuttal was that she was a good well-regarded nurse which is I'm
00:40sure you will agree not a rebuttal to whether she is covertly deliberately harming babies.
00:46There was a very strong level of support for this individual.
