There are some references to previous incidents where DL had borrowed money from others. For example at page 28 of the investigation report the investigating officer says that there is anecdotal information to suggest. It is entirely unclear to us where that anecdotal information comes from, noting in passing that JG had given inconsistent accounts about whether DL had borrowed from other residents or borrowed from staff, and that the hairdresser had made a comment about DL borrowing from residents but it was not clear on what basis she had made that comment.
We are not placing any reliance on those references to previous incidents: it is not a safe inference to draw that DL had borrowed money from other residents previously.
