The taking of statements of evidence from staff commenced in the final week of September and the Inquiry will now begin to hear from staff on 13<sup>th<\/sup> November 2023.<\/p>\n<p>The Chairman notes, in respect of staff evidence, \u201c&#8230;Many staff members to whom the Inquiry wishes to speak have been identified and written to. I hope all will cooperate and I hope that many will want to come and give their accounts. It is important that they do because we need to see all parts of the picture in order to get a full understanding of life within the hospital. If people are uncooperative, as everyone knows, I do have certain powers to compel witnesses but will always hope to persuade, if persuasion is necessary, rather than compel.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mr Kark also indicated he will be writing to \u201cthe relevant public authorities and organisations\u201d before the end of the year \u201cto inform them of what is required for the purposes of providing evidence to the Inquiry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Inquiry has placed on record its thanks to all who have assisted it to date in its work and looks forward to receiving the level of co-operation and commitment that will be required to bring the important work of the Inquiry to its conclusion.<\/p>\n<p>O&#8217;Reilly Stewart Healthcare continues to represent the interests of a large group of patients and relatives affected by the issues under consideration by the Inquiry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Muckamore Abbey Hospital Inquiry (\u201cthe Inquiry\u201d) has concluded hearing evidence in what has been termed the Patient\u2019s and Relative\u2019s Experience Phase.
