The killer nurse had already murdered five infants by then and during the inspection period but inspectors were not told of the rise in baby deaths
The “emerging serious concern” of a rise in baby deaths at the Countess of Chester Hospital should have been shared openly, an inspection chief has told a public inquiry over the crimes of Lucy Letby. An inspection team from the Care Quality Commission was not told of a spike in neonatal mortality or that a number of the deaths were unexpected and unexplained when they visited the hospital in mid-February 2016.
Any documentation, any audits, any reviews, any work they had undertaken, should have been shared transparently and openly. “I really do think the trust had a professional obligation and an obligation to patients to be open and transparent with us and I would have liked to have known about those concerns earlier.
