The hearing will examine how the nurse was able to murder babies on the Countess of Chester Hospital's neonatal unit.
Lucy Letby was found guilty of murdering seven babies and attempting to murder another seven between June 2015 and June 2016. She stands convicted as Britain’s most prolific baby killer. Her trial raised questions about the way the Countess of Chester hospital handled consultants concerns about the nurse. It’ll be for the public inquiry, chaired by Lady Justice Thirlwall to examine that, along with whether there are questions for the wider NHS.
The inquiry will hear from the parents of the babies who Letby was convicted of attacking. The Thirlwall Inquiry was set up very shortly after Lucy Letby was convicted in August 2023. Now it’s getting underway at a time when a number of critics are arguing that she may in fact be innocent. But the inquiry won’t get into the detail of exploring that issue - neither has it been delayed, despite calls for it to be, by a group of experts critical of the trial evidence.
