He told the court: “‘I remember feeling uncomfortable when I arrived on the unit and saw and I thought ‘Oh no, not another one’.
Dr Gibbs replied: “I was most heavily influenced by what was happening to babies on the unit… there was only one common factor.” Mr Myers asked: “You didn’t contact the police, did you?” Mr Myers said: “You took your time asking for CCTV if your suspicions were so great, Dr Gibbs?” Dr Gibbs replied: “I said increasing concerns were growing over that time. The tipping point was the tragic deaths of the triplets which, looking back, should not have happened in healthy boys."
