  • Independent Inquiry Into the Care and Treatment of Peter Bryan Part One
    Independent Inquiry into the Care and Treatment of Peter Bryan Part One A report for NHS London September 2009 Panel members Jane Mishcon was appointed as Chair of the Inquiry. She is a barrister at Hailsham Chambers whose main area of practice is clinical negligence. She has chaired nine inquiries following homicides committed by psychiatric patients. The other Panel members appointed were: Dr Tim Exworthy, a consultant forensic psychiatrist at Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust. Stuart Wix is a forensic nurse consultant at Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health Foundation Trust. Mike Lindsey is a former deputy director of social services at Shropshire County Council. Professor Tom Sensky, a Professor of Psychological Medicine and a consultant psychiatrist, provided expert advice to the Panel. 2 Acknowledgements The co-ordination of this Inquiry was undertaken by Derek Mechen of Verita to whom we are indebted for his indefatigable support. His inordinate patience and efficiency made our difficult and lengthy task that much easier and his sensitive handling of the investigation progress benefited all concerned. He really was the „backbone‟ of this Inquiry. We also could not have done without the rest of the Verita team who provide an excellent service to Inquiries generally. We are also grateful to the wonderful team from the Fiona Shipley Transcribing Service for their unflagging efforts in recording and transcribing the evidence for us. They endured long and tiring hours with efficient good humour. We are grateful for the frank and open way in which the witnesses gave their evidence to us. Although some of the key personalities had already had to give evidence to the internal inquiry panel which investigated and reported shortly after the homicide of Brian Cherry, for most of the witnesses this was the first time that they had been questioned in any way about their involvement with Peter Bryan or (where applicable) their managerial responsibilities within the various services involved with him.
