Administered Drug on 11th July, 1985, inconsistencies - this is where things started to go wrong for Sheila...

(1) - it should have been a 200 mg, injection of Haloperidol (Dr Ferguson)

(2) - it could have been a 150 mg, injection of Haloperidol (Dr Angeloglou)

(3) - it was a 100 mg, injection of Haloperidol (Assistant G.P. Wilkinson)

According to following attachment, dated, 12th August 1985, Sheila was given an injection of HALDOL, 200mg, on 11th July 1985, but this was not true - she had been given half that dosage (100 mg)...

I would like to remind everyone, what Sheila's consultant, Dr Ferguson, said, about the effect of reducing her medication after she was admitted into hospital in 1983...

Witness statement of Dr Ferguson, dated, 30th September 1985, page Two


" Her psychotic symptoms receded briefly on medication, but when this was reduced, she again flared up into paranoid interpretations of the nursing staff, becoming at times quite hostile and believing that she was being recruited ............, and that there was an attempt by the devil to take away her godliness with many people around her being seen to be involved in the conspiracy"...

As can be seen, the effect of reducing Sheila's medication, had a negative effect upon her condition, causing her to flare up into paranoid interpretations of anyone around her, believing that there was an attempt by the devil to take away her godliness, with many people around her being seen to be involved in the conspiracy against her...

This should be borne in mind, considering that Sheila's medication was reduced by half, from 200 mg to 100 mg, without any consultation at all with Sheila's consultant, when on 11th July 1985, a part time G.P. Assistant, Fiona Wilkinson, took a decision to reduce Sheila's medication, with little or no regard at all to the consequences of doing so...

Less than a month later, Sheila was dead...

Sheila was not over sedated on the day (7th August 1985) she died

Based on what we now know, Sheila was not over sedated on the day she died, on the contrary, she was under sedated...

In addition, she had run out of Procyclidene tablets, which were designed to counter the effects of taking 200 mg of HALDOL by injection, which had been prescribed, on 29th April 1985...

As indicated by the letter which Sheila's consultant, Dr Ferguson sent to Sheila's G.P., Dr Angeloglou, on 25th July 1985, he did not want to make any decision about a possible reduction in Sheila's medication at that stage - but it was too late, because assistant G.P. Wilkinson, had already done the foul deed, on 11th July 1985
