Ian Harvey, the medical director at the Countess of Chester Hospital, attended a fundraising meeting instead of addressing the concerns of the neo-natal unit's consultants after the deaths of two newborn triplets. This decision was made during a period when Lucy Letby was murdering and attempting to murder babies in the hospital's neo-natal unit.
LISTEN: T. LISTEN:The top doctor at the hospital where Lucy Letby killed babies attended a fundraising meeting rather than see worried consultants days after two newborn triplets died.
Yesterday he told the public inquiry investigating her crimes that Dr Stephen Brearey, the head of the neo-natal unit, invited him to meet all seven consultants on June 27, 2016 – three days after the second triplet, Baby P, died. Rachel Langdale KC, counsel to the inquiry, said: ‘Why didn’t you attend that meeting? Two babies have just died on consecutive days. It’s hard to imagine anything more serious in the hospital.
Retired orthopaedic surgeon Ian Harvey, 65, was the £175,000-a-year medical director at the Countess of Chester Hospital at the time when Letby murdered multiple babies
