Inquiry Reveals Hospital Managers Dismissed Concerns About Nurse Lucy Letby

Hospital leaders at Countess of Chester Hospital reportedly ignored doctors' warnings about Letby's potential involvement in infant deaths.

Doctors at Countess of Chester Hospital raised alarms about nurse Lucy Letby's presence during unexplained infant collapses in 2015 and 2016.
Senior hospital managers were described as 'disbelieving' and failed to take the allegations seriously, according to public inquiry testimony.
Lucy Letby is serving life sentences for the murder of seven infants and attempted murder of seven others between June 2015 and June 2016.
A leaked review suggested that some infant deaths might have been preventable with better care, raising questions about hospital practices.
The inquiry, expected to conclude in early 2025, aims to uncover how such tragic events could have occurred without earlier intervention.
