- Prosecutors said they examined potential charges for two suspected murders and seven alleged attempted murders but found the evidential test was not met.
- The CPS has written to the families involved and offered meetings to explain how the decision was reached.
- Cheshire Police voiced disappointment, noting they had sought charging decisions for 11 offences relating to nine babies.
- Letby continues to serve 15 life sentences for seven murders and seven attempted murders, and police said this decision does not affect those convictions or the separate Operation Duet inquiry into corporate manslaughter.
