Medical staff are said to be very anxious their evidence might be live streamed, but lawyers for the families say it's essential to stop wild theories circulating.
The inquiry into how nurse Lucy Letby was able to murder babies at a hospital in Chester will begin to hear evidence in September. Lawyers for the families of Letby's victims told a preliminary hearing that the inquiry should be live streamed to the public to prevent the spread of 'grossly offensive' conspiracy theories.
He said: 'If a witness is concerned about live-streaming then if we can remove that concern we can, we would suggest, encourage candour, frankness and openness.' Richard Baker KC, representing some of the other families, said: 'Their desire in this case is for change and so that others do not experience what they have experienced.' They were 'saddened' and 'concerned' at the suggestion the lack of transparency might continue, he said.
