Stuart Syvret.
IT WAS ‘absolutely necessary’ to name a staff nurse accused of murdering patients more than ten years ago, former Health Minister Stuart Syvret has claimed.
The ex-Senator made the claim while giving evidence yesterday at his trial into alleged breaches of the data protection law – charges which relate directly to his naming of the nurse, who was never prosecuted, on his blog.
An application by Mr Syvret that there was no case to answer was refused earlier in the day by Assistant Magistrate Bridget Shaw.
