Inquiry Reveals Hospital's Disbelief Over Letby Concerns
Nurses Raised Concerns About Lucy Letby But Hospital Ignored Them
A public inquiry has heard that nurses raised concerns about Lucy Letby as early as 2015, but their concerns were ignored by the hospital.
Letby is accused of murdering seven babies and attempting to murder ten others at the Countess of Chester Hospital between 2015 and 2016.
The inquiry heard that a nurse raised concerns about Letby in June 2015, after she noticed that a baby had collapsed while in her care.
Hospital Ignored Concerns
The nurse reported her concerns to her manager, but no action was taken.
In October 2015, another nurse raised concerns about Letby after she noticed that a baby had died in her care.
The nurse reported her concerns to the hospital's safeguarding team, but again, no action was taken.
Inquiry Continues
The public inquiry into Letby's alleged crimes is ongoing.
It is expected to hear evidence from dozens of witnesses, including nurses, doctors, and family members of the victims.
The inquiry is expected to last for several months.
