Dr. Stapleton emphasized that Aoife's Type B meningococcal infection was readily treatable with targeted antibiotics. He believed she would have likely survived if she had received the medications in time. He stressed that the outcome could have been different and optimal with timely treatment.
Dr. Shahid at UHL mentioned no recollection of being urged to check on Aoife by nurses. He acknowledged going to see Aoife only after concerns raised by another medical professional. Aoife's parents denied recognizing Dr. Shahid, raising discrepancies in their accounts.
The legal counsel at the inquest asserted that Aoife was consistently categorized as a seriously ill patient at UHL, despite Dr. Shahid suggesting a potential downgrade. Meanwhile, the executive-in-charge at UHL expressed deep remorse, remembering Aoife daily and describing her as having a 'beautiful face.'
