Doctor Bannerjee was a Psychiatrist based at Weatherfield General who assessed Claire Peacock in September 2006 after she had been exhibiting signs of mental illness. Earlier in the week, Claire had returned her newborn baby Thomas to the hospital's maternity unit insisting that there had been a "mix-up" and she had gone home with the wrong baby. Social Worker Delia Spencer and Doctor Turner from the Medical Centre had visited Claire the previous day and prescribed her anti-depressants but she refused to take the medication and while out for a walk with husband Ashley and the baby, pushed the pram out of frustration - into the path of an oncoming car.
