Lucy Letby was sentenced to life imprisonment
A senior manager who was in charge of nursing at the Countess of Chester Hospital when Lucy Letby carried out her attacks on babies has been suspended from her current role. It comes after hospital bosses were accused of ignoring concerns raise about Letby by her colleagues.
“We are unable to comment any further at this moment in time.” Letby, 33, was found guilty of murdering seven babies and attempting to murder six others between June 2015 and June 2016. HCSA president Dr Naru Narayanan told the PA news agency that the circumstanced surrounding Letby is “an appalling reminder of a culture which persists today in some parts of our NHS despite the many, many warnings we’ve had over the years”. He added: “All too often, whistleblowers are treated by bad employers like the problem and find themselves on the receiving end of threats and bullying to remain silent.
