Doctor Defends Actions in Lucy Letby Inquiry into Baby Deaths

Consultant Dr. Ravi Jayaram admits he hesitated to report suspicions about Letby due to fear of disbelief and ridicule.

Dr. Ravi Jayaram testified at the Thirlwall Inquiry, denying he fabricated allegations against former nurse Lucy Letby.
Jayaram expressed regret for not immediately reporting his concerns, citing fear of not being believed and accusations of bullying.
He recalled feeling discomfort with Letby in the room during the incident with Baby K, where a breathing tube was dislodged.
The inquiry heard that Letby was on duty during numerous unexplained deaths, raising suspicions among hospital staff.
Hospital executives were slow to act on consultants' concerns, delaying police involvement until May 2017.
