He does say - 'As far as I can remember, there was, yes, a movement or voices in the background. I’m, not sure I actually spoke to anybody'.

He's not sure he actually spoke to anyone? A big thing to not be sure about.
Voices. Sounds like the raid team communicating with each other
Yes, if Sheila made a call she would have first replaced the phone to the cradle and then dialed 999. Would this be answered by Jean Rowe who would automatically know it was from inside WHF? And would she take action without Sheila even speaking, ie,. would she automatically put the call through to the police and phone for an ambulance too knowing that someone was alive? If so, there doesn't seem to be any documented evidence of this.
Maybe Sheila did ask for the police and/or an ambulance? But if so why didn't Jean Rowe forward this to the police or put it in her statement?
Was Jean Rowe the only operator on duty in the district? Or at that exchange?
Was it possible that Sheila got through to another operator who put the call through to Milbank? An operator who had no knowledge of what was happening at WHF and was never asked for a statement?
Anyway, wasn't there two ambulances requested by the police? And was this before or after 6.09?
If Sheila did make a call at 6.09 the fact remains that she didn't replace the receiver and left the phone off the hook yet again, which does seem odd!
Anyway, Milbank simply saying that he received a 999 call from inside WHF isn't quite enough to convince supporters let alone the CCRC that Sheila made the 6.09 call.
In the meantime we have more questions than answers.
