The inquiry into the murders carried out by Lucy Letby will be made statutory, with judges given the power to compel witnesses, the government has announced.
"We wanted to discuss the terms of the inquiry with the families, that's what I have done, and reflected on the comments that they have made.
Mr Behrens told Sky News he was not convinced a report into the failings at the Countess of Chester Hospital will prevent a repeat of yet another maternity scandal in the future, unless swift action is taken to enforce systemic change. "What I want to see happen is that there is learning from the fact that here and elsewhere, the board failed to intervene when they had the opportunity to do so, that senior managers had the mindset that the way to deal with this was to say no, this is not an issue."
