They are Philippa Drew, director of Custody, her deputy, Philip Wheatley, and Amy Edwards, area manager.A question mark hangs over the future of Andrew Barclay, Whitemoor’s former governor, who now works in the Chief Inspector of Prison’s office. However, sources said that the future of Brodie Clarke, who became governor just a few months before the September escape and who is regarded as one of the country’s best, is secure.A disciplinary panel has already been set up to deal with lower ranking prison staff to be identified in the report likely to be published on Monday.Although no one is named in the report, they are recognisable by their job descriptions. Dame Angela is clearly the minister criticised in a draft of the report for agreeing to the “dangerous and inept” recommendation from civil servants – made as a result of intimidation of staff by the inmates – to suspend the rub down searches of visitors.Internal prison security documents obtained by the Independent revealed that the IRA men, accompanied by an armed robber, used game posts, furniture and sheet ropes to scale the walls.Sir John’s report, which highlights security failings at all levels , says prisoners were able to make their escape plans and tools in the units hobby room, because senior prison service staff had agreed to let them put up curtains over the windows.. A government committee investigating standards in public life has been given evidence criticising the secrecy surrounding appointments to and operations of health authorities and NHS hospital trusts. The Public Health Alliance has written expressing concerns about the composition of policy-making bodies within the National Health Service; lack of accountability of boards to local people despite the Government’s assertion that reforms in the NHS and community care were designed to bring this about; the secretive nature of the appointments procedure, including reliance on the “old boy network”; the emphasis on the political acceptability of the appointees; the lack of a public register on appointees’ political and business interests; and the high representation of business, accountancy and legal professions on health boards.
The complaints are detailed in a letter from Geoff Rayner, chairman of the Public Health Alliance, whose members include professional associations, voluntary and community groups, local and health authorities, trade unions and employers’ organisations.In the letter he calls for the process of appointments to be open to public scrutiny and for different options to be considered for a reformed procedure such as election or competitive application. Complaining that there is “absolutely no accountability to local people” in the way services are managed nor sufficient local involvement in major policy issues, the letter says the greatest area of concern is the manner in which people are chosen for the boards of NHS organisations.”Appointments are conducted in a secretive manner and appear to have been made on the basis of personal connections rather than objective criteria.”. A patient in community care stabbed a “harmless and totally innocent man” to death, believing that he was killing the former gangster Ronnie Kray, an Old Bailey court was told yesterday.

Stephen Laudat, 26, was sent to Rampton maximum security ho spital without limit of time. Laudat approached Bryan Bennett, 56, at a day centre in Stratford, east London, last July, and “coldly and clinically” stabbed him from behind, said John Bevan, for the prosecution.
Mr Bennett screamed, rolled up in a ball and tried to hide but Laudat continued to rain blows on him, threatening others in the room, who fled. Fifteen minutes later Inspector Keith Topliss arrived after an emergency call. Armed only with a 4ft plant pole he went into the room, where Laudat was kneeling by Mr Bennett’s body and still stabbing him.The officer told Laudat: “Listen carefully.

Move away from there and put the knife on the floor.” He obeyed. Insp Topliss said after the hearing: “I hope I never see anything like it again I was in shock for days. I was astonished that he just stopped when I told him to.”After the killing Laudat said he thought he was doing “a public service” by stabbing Ronnie Kray. Laudat, who lived with his mother in Stratford, denied murder but admitted manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility.The court heard that he had suffered from mental illness since 1989. He was jailed for four years for knife-point robberies in 1991. He was transferred to hospital and discharged in December last year when his sentence expired.At that time Laudat was refusing to take medication. On his discharge he agreed to after-care by the local social services.He and Mr Bennett both attended the day centre.

Mr Bennett, who had a broken marriage, was described as gentle and harmless.. “Pity, Maurizio,” said Gottschalk, “I’d have liked to see you fall flat on your face.”When Gaudino returned to dressing room number 33, the police were waiting. “No panic, everything’s OK,” the £360,000-a-year midfielder is reported to have said.Gottschalk pointed out that the footballer’s arrest went against hallowed tradition. They are driven to eastern Europe and sold there.The money is then claimed a second time, from the insurers.At his appearance on the late-night chat show, hosted by the flamboyant Thomas Gottschalk, Gaudino danced on rollerskates with his fellow guest Katarina Witt, East Germany’s former skating megastar. But the passing of the Criminal Justice Bill has freshened up her interest in her folk roots.
Long after the English folk tradition had died out in towns and villages, it was kept alive by communities of gypsies.
