Grenfell hearings 'like being at a funeral for multiple people'

Survivors and the bereaved attending the Grenfell Tower fire inquiry are "really struggling" as they sit through what feels like a multiple funeral each day, a nurse leading the outreach response has said.

Emma Kennedy, manager of the Grenfell Outreach Team, was among NHS staff at the inquiry on Tuesday, when people fled the room in tears after seeing footage of the burning high-rise without prior warning.

Staff from Central and North West London NHS Trust will propose to the inquiry that private mindfulness sessions be run at the beginning and end of each day.

This would help bring people away from the adrenaline of the room, they believe.
