Letby, a nurse, was convicted in 2023 of murdering seven infants and attempting to murder six others at Chester Hospital between 2015 and 2019. The inquiry found that earlier detection could have prevented some of the deaths. Health officials said they will develop the camera plans as a matter of urgency in response to the inquiry's findings.
