  Statistical analysis of monthly rates of events in around 20 hospitals and
over a period of about 10 years shows that respiratory arrest, though about
five times less frequent than cardio-respiratory arrest, is a common occurrence
in the Emergency Department of a typical smaller UK hospital. This report has
been prepared at the request of lawyers working in the London Innocence Project
and is intended to form part of an application to the CCRC for a reopening of
the case of Ben Geen: a UK nurse sentenced to 30 years in jail following an
apparent cluster of cases always when he was on duty at the Horton General
Hospital.
