Hospital bosses are "in denial" over their role in allowing killer nurse Lucy Letby to continue her murderous spree a leading medical expert has claimed, as calls for a public enquiry grow.Speaking on whether the Countess of Chester Hospital had questions to answer following the verdict, consultant paediatrician Dr Dewi Evans concluded: "I think they're still in denial to be honest with you. I think they failed.
Speaking with Sky News following her conviction, he added: "That is not a matter for doctors, that is a matter for the police and other organisations." Speaking to LBC exclusively, an anonymous mother said "gut instinct" left her feeling uneasy around Lucy Letby, who was working in the same neonatal unit her baby was being kept in.
“I think it was day three he had an unexpected collapse, I’d been with him until about 5am in the morning and at 9am when I was going back to take milk down to him, a nurse had come to tell me that he collapsed in that interim period, that he had to be ventilated and sedated and he was on life-support."
Asked about how she felt about Letby at the time, she said: “Honestly, I was afraid to leave my baby with her. I didn’t have any reason why other than an absolute gut instinct.
