Stuart Syvret
FORMER Senator Stuart Syvret has criticised a police investigation that was carried out over ten years ago following allegations that a staff nurse at the Hospital had murdered terminally-ill patients.
On the second day of his trial for allegedly breaching data protection laws, Mr Syvret yesterday attacked the competency and quality of the 1999 inquiry that investigated, but never charged, a male nurse.
Mr Syvret, representing himself, spent two-and-a-half hours cross-examining a former policeman who had led the investigation.
Graham Jennings, who was the chief executive of Health and Social Services from 1996 to 2002, and Mike Pollard, who was chief officer of Health and Social Services between 2004 and 2009, were among those who gave evidence yesterday.
Nurse inquiry was ‘flawed’, claims Syvret
