Many thanks for this. I wasn’t expecting the report this quickly, so I really do appreciate you getting the repot to me expeditiously. As an aside, this is probably the best example a nursing expert report I have seen. Extremely thorough and detailed, leaving no stone unturned. Very impressed.

It is so exceptionally thorough, reasoned and clearly set out, even by your own very high standards. On that basis, it gives me a very sound platform to go back to the defendant trust with
