James Titcombe, who uncovered multiple failings at an NHS trust after the death of his baby son, said he was 'shocked but not surprised' that the doctors who raised concerns about Letby were forced to apologise to her
for the murder of seven babies and the attempted murders of six more. Letby, 33, did not appear in court for her sentencing – something which has renewed calls for a law forcing criminals to face justice in person.: “It is going to take a very long time for the repercussions of this week’s news to sink in and even longer for the healthcare system to come to terms with what has happened.
“In September 2016, after repeated attempted by doctors to raise the alarm, Letby filed a formal grievance against the doctors involved. Without any thorough investigation of the serious concerns the doctors had raised, the trust backed Letby, the neonatal nurse who had just murdered six babies, recommending her return to the unit where her campaign of deliberate harm could continue.
The Government has announced an independent inquiry into Letby’s crimes, which will investigate whether NHS bosses mishandled the concerns raised. There have been, which would mean witnesses would be compelled to attend to give evidence. “Despite repeated reports and recommendations, our healthcare system is still plagued by a ‘reputation first’ culture that acts to suppress problems and punishes those who don’t comply…, but if the horrors of this weeks news can’t unite everyone together to demand urgent change – nothing ever will.”
