The MAG has designed an assessmentmethod, based on following a person's weight loss over a six-month period, to identify whether people are at risk of malnutrition.
Mr Broughton said his boss, John Eardley, rang him a week after Mr Farr's death to ask him to retrospectively sign a method statement, a risk assessment and a computer-aided drawing of the barrier's construction.
He was a noted expert on the development of diagnostic questionnaires and other assessment measures, and his work was influential in determining whether an assessmentmethod was valuable or should be discarded.
