It was decided on legal advice that the hearing of witnesses concerned in the trial of Mr. XXX should be deferred until after his case had been dealt with by the Court. So as not to delay our work unduly, a decision was made to have preliminary discussions with those not directly connected, who would be able to provide background information on the structures of care involved, which we would later be considering in the context of treatment of Mr. XXX.

The meetings were held at Boden House in Derby.

The meetings featured interviews, marked [i] in the following list, and briefings, marked [b].
