Hospital executives were ‘grossly negligent’ for not acting on complaints about the killer nurse with greater urgency, it has been claimed.
The prosecution’s lead medical expert in the Lucy Letby case has said hospital executives who failed to act on concerns about the serial killer nurse should be investigated for corporate manslaughter.
The Countess of Chester Hospital’s neonatal unit head consultant, Dr Stephen Brearey, first raised Letby’s association with an increase in baby collapses in June 2015. Dr Evans was tasked by Cheshire Police to look at a series of collapses on the neonatal unit of the Countess of Chester Hospital in 2015 and 2016.
The board was not made aware of the rise in incidents on the neonatal unit until July 2016 and at a meeting it then agreed for the deaths to be externally investigated, according to the report.
