Lucy Letby inquiry finds hospital failures cost baby lives
Published 3 weeks ago
Description
A public inquiry into Lucy Letby, Britain's worst modern child serial killer, has found that hospital failures allowed her to murder seven babies and attempt to kill seven others. The report concludes that approximately three babies could have been saved if action had been taken earlier, criticising dysfunctional management, a dictatorial chief executive, and the failure to call police. The inquiry identified serious failures including poor communication between hospital leadership and clinicians, inadequate safeguarding, and mistreatment of parents, while the criminal cases review commission is now considering fresh evidence from Letby's supporters.
