Counter-positions, clarifications and documentary anomalies
This register makes respondent counter-positions and source anomalies visible without merging them into coronial findings or adjudicating by preference. It records only bounded differences already supported by the registered primary report and response sources.
| Controlled class | Meaning | Records |
|---|---|---|
| Compatible clarification | Accounts can coexist because they describe a narrower issue, different representation or later remedy | 3 |
| Material disagreement | The coroner and respondent retain materially different accounts within the stated scope | 5 |
| Counter-risk | A respondent identifies a foreseeable hazard in a proposed remedy without erasing the underlying concern | 1 |
| Documentary anomaly | A response document has an internal date, identity or description problem that limits reliance | 1 |
These classes describe relationships between registered statements. They are not findings about truth, source credibility or organisational performance. A response can also report proposed or completed action; that remains a respondent claim until independently verified.
Canonical data: disagreements.csv · source register · response catalogue
DIS-001 — Compatible clarification
Report: Rachelle Ross — 2023-0067
Scope: Screening-alert and non-responder-state representation
Neutral account: Respondents narrow the coroner's concern to missing computable non-responder status rather than absence of all screening alerts.
Registered evidence: primary SRC-002; response SRC-016, SRC-076, SRC-077, SRC-078.
Qualification: Generic due or outstanding smear alerts and separate worklists do not establish that national non-responder status was supplied into the EPR as computable data.
DIS-002 — Compatible clarification
Report: Alexander Braund — 2022-0407
Scope: Visibility of amendment provenance across live and exported representations
Neutral account: The response clarifies that provenance existed in the live audit but was not visible in the representation used for investigation.
Registered evidence: primary SRC-003; response SRC-017.
Qualification: Compatible accounts about different system representations must not be collapsed into either complete absence or complete visibility of provenance.
DIS-003 — Counter-risk
Report: Christopher Collinson — 2021-0361
Scope: Proposed prescribing confirmation alert
Neutral account: The Trust does not erase the coroner's prescribing and allocation concerns but identifies alert fatigue as a hazard of one proposed remedy.
Registered evidence: primary SRC-060; response SRC-083.
Qualification: This is a counter-risk affecting control design, not a rebuttal of the report-specific concern or evidence that the replacement workflow is effective.
DIS-004 — Material disagreement
Report: Theo Tuikubulau — 2026-0006
Scope: Cross-system respiratory triage consistency and need for change
Neutral account: The coroner and respondent retain materially different accounts of cross-system consistency and the need for change.
Registered evidence: primary SRC-070; response SRC-100, SRC-101.
Qualification: NHS England's position depends on the full presentation being appropriately triaged and remains a respondent account, not an adjudication of the coronial concern.
DIS-005 — Material disagreement
Report: Elton Deutekom — 2024-0660
Scope: Retrospective transcription and disposal of contemporaneous notes
Neutral account: The Trust disputes the adverse interpretation of transcription and disposal, while the underlying provenance concern remains.
Registered evidence: primary SRC-068; response SRC-095.
Qualification: Only SRC-095 supports this counter-position; SRC-096 concerns separate national matters and is not included here.
DIS-006 — Material disagreement
Report: Bernard Compton — 2024-0304
Scope: Telephone-triage categorisation
Neutral account: The algorithm strand remains contested, separately from the unreviewed troponin and repeat-ECG failures.
Registered evidence: primary SRC-073; response SRC-103.
Qualification: SRC-103 reports the ambulance service's view indirectly; it is not a direct ambulance-service response and does not resolve the other concerns in the report.
DIS-007 — Material disagreement
Report: Alan Mitchell — 2025-0577
Scope: Medication-expiry behaviour and configuration
Neutral account: The source accounts materially disagree about default behaviour; the dataset retains that this medication issue was not causal in the death.
Registered evidence: primary SRC-203; response SRC-258.
Qualification: The supplier describes optional authorised configuration and movement to Past medication; this must not be generalised to every deployed configuration.
DIS-008 — Material disagreement
Report: Venetia Pierce — 2025-0427
Scope: Presentation of the specific medicine warning in the prescribing workflow
Neutral account: The supplier gives a materially different warning account, but it does not independently prove that the specific alert at issue appeared in the prescribing workflow.
Registered evidence: primary SRC-210; response SRC-268.
Qualification: The disagreement is narrowly scoped to warning presentation and access; it is not evidence that every relevant warning was visible or acted upon.
DIS-009 — Compatible clarification
Report: Margaret McNaughton — 2025-0397
Scope: Remedial allergy controls and planned audit
Neutral account: The response describes remedial controls consistent with the coroner's concern and is not implementation or effectiveness evidence.
Registered evidence: primary SRC-214; response SRC-275.
Qualification: Several actions were prospective; the registered response note does not safely support classifying the source-availability issue as a material disagreement.
DIS-010 — Documentary anomaly
Report: Thomas Mallinson — 2025-0333
Scope: Dates and report description in one registered recipient response
Neutral account: Conflicting dates in the response materially limit its documentary reliability without displacing the coroner's concern about referral ownership and repeat-contact escalation.
Registered evidence: primary SRC-218; response SRC-278.
Qualification: The anomaly applies to SRC-278; the other registered responses have separate, bounded support and are not characterised by this record.
