Harriet Schulenburg

Probably the most stressed member of staff at the hospital, the admin department wouldn't be the same without Harriet bringing in a handbag full of mashed potatoes or wearing a cardigan covered in fuzzy felt animals. Hopelessly absent-minded, thanks to being the mother of three boys (Oscar, Jamie and troublesome Robbie) and wife to the unloving and her never-seen husband Ian, Harriet spends more time on the school run every morning than actually working (this might have something to do with the fact that she sometimes forgets to actually take the kids to school and so they end up running riot in the hospital carpark).

Part way through the first series she falls pregnant again. On the plus side, Harriet has an admirer in the form of Lyndon.
