Janice Harry, Sharon Turner and Tracy White are all facing Nursing and Midwifery Council misconduct hearings.

Harry is accused of making a series of errors and oversights while working as a senior manager at the hospital between 1998 and 2006. She denies all the allegations made against her.

An NMC panel ruled Turner and White falsified accident and emergency discharge times to avoid missing the goal for patients to be dealt with within four hours.
