I've just scanned the media thread, to see how frequently staff used the word "called" to each other, when already inside the same nursery.
Dr Harkness – baby A
"During the time he was looking at a third baby in the room, he was scrubbed up and sterilised for a procedure which "takes a lot of concentration."
He said it was shortly after that (about 1-2 minutes), he was urgently called to Child A.
He said he was "just about finished with [another baby]" when he was called to Child A at 8.26pm.
He said he was called "by nursing staff" over problems with Child A's breathing.
He said: "It was very surprising to be called back [to Child A] at this time [as he had been stable].
Nurse Bennion – baby A
She said, from reading her statement, she was "next to [Child B]" and "still doing" her checks and completing observations and safety checks at the time.
Ms Bennion is now being asked about Child A's collapse, and that Lucy Letby had called for assistance.
She said: "We have an emergency buzzer which could be pulled, but there were so many staff that a nurse can call for assistance.
Letby – baby A
Child A was then not breathing, and Dr Harkness was called over.
Nurse Mel Taylor – baby C
She confirms she was present in room 1 that night, in the same room as colleague Sophie Ellis.
A retrospective nursing note by Ms Taylor, written a couple of hours later, said: "Called to help as baby had brady desat, when arrived to baby, baby apnoiec..."
Nurse Caroline Oakley – baby D
Letby recalls looking after two babies in room 1 on the night of June 21-22. Caroline Oakley was the designated nurse for Child D and a baby in room 2.
At 3.45am, the nurse noted: "Monitor alarming, [Child D] desaturated again and [stopped breathing]. Called senior nurse Letby to help. Stimulation given."
Letby – baby I
At 1.06am, Child I began crying again.
"I do remember being in the nursery and she was crying," Letby says. She then called for her colleague, according to her previous defence statement.
Mr Johnson says this indicates Letby was first in the room, and alone with the infant.
But Letby says this could have meant she called her colleague over from the other side of the room.
Mr Johnson disputes this, saying Letby's defence statement clearly states the colleague "came into" the room.
