Police officer noticed '50% of roof' was covered in black mould spots
Paramedic Neil McKay now takes to the witness stand. He was one of the paramedics who attended when called out to Luke’s home on the morning of his death.
The officer says he noticed ‘about 50% of the roof’ was covered in ‘black mould spots’ in the bathroom. He says doesn’t know if GMP raised concerns about the state of the property to the council. “It was quite untidy,” he said. There was lots of empty plates, beer cans… there was no carpet in the bedroom.”
PC Rogers says he took that to mean the conditions of the house, including damp. He added: “It did feel quite a cold house. I do recall at one point being able to see your breath.PC Rogers says he asked the family to gather in the living room so Luke’s room could be checked. Comparing Luke’s bedroom with the other, he said: ”It is a contrast between rooms.
Asked by Oldham Council’s barrister why Chris did not try to clean off mould himself, he said: “I didn’t see any point.” He adds that the pair did not seek advice on how to treat mould.On the day before Luke’s death, Chris said: “[Luke] spent most the day in bed, trying to sleep it off.” The next day, Luke woke Chris up as he went downstairs to get tobacco, the court hears.
Before Luke was ill, Chris says he also had a cough and his ‘nose dripping’. Luke’s symptoms were ‘a lot worse’ from the start, he says. Asked if he ever thought the radiator needed bleeding, he said: “I just thought it was broken.” Chris says at the time of Luke’s death, you could ‘still see bits falling off’ from the ceiling. He added: “There was a dark patch… that’s where the plaster was flaking off.”
“The first time we got there you could actually see our breath, it was that cold,” he said. Chris says there was mould in the bathroom. Jenny last went into the room ‘years’ before Luke’s death. She says Luke did not want to show her the room from that point.Luke 'couldn't wait to get a new house,' friend tells court
Luke ‘hardly ever left the house’, only to go on a bike ride, Jenny says. She says Luke was ‘starting to put on a bit of weight’ and he would ‘get low about the house’.Nicole Wootton-CaneMr Weaver reads a GMP statement. Patricia told them: “This house has put me in hospital and now it’s killed my son.”Patricia says the family were still bidding for houses at the time of Luke’s death. They were searching for a property for five adults.
Patricia confirms that there were five adults in the house until shortly before Luke died, when her son James also moved in.

A day-to-day management model improves patient compliance to treatment for Helicobacter pylori infection: a prospective, randomized controlled study - Gut PathogensBackground The day-to-day (DTD) management model encourages patients to actively participate in their healthcare by setting goals. We determined the effectiveness of the DTD model in the treatment of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection, as compared with conventional outpatient education (OE). Methods We randomized 254 H. pylori-positive patients into a DTD group (127 patients) and an OE group (127 patients) prior to primary treatment with 14-day bismuth-containing quadruple therapy, including esomeprazole, amoxicillin, and clarithromycin. Both groups received consistent medication instructions. Patients in the DTD group recorded daily attendance after completing their daily medication plan from day 1 to day 14. The medication compliance, follow-up compliance, H. pylori eradication rates, and adverse events (AEs) were evaluated. Results In the modified intention-to-treat (MITT) and per-protocol (PP) analyses, the DTD group showed significantly higher medication compliance than the OE group (P = 0.001 and P = 0.031, respectively). Both the MITT and PP analyses showed significant differences in follow-up compliance (P | 0.001 and P = 0.003, respectively) and timing of the review urea breath test (P | 0.001 and P = 0.001, respectively) between the two groups. However, no significant differences were observed in the H. pylori eradication rates (95.8% vs. 93.8%, P = 0.529) in the PP analysis, or AEs incidence (25.4% vs. 28.3%, P = 0.603) between the two groups. Conclusion This study demonstrated the novel application of the DTD model in the treatment of H. pylori infection, which enabled patients to develop habitual medication-taking behaviors without physician intervention.
