Wednesday, September 16, 2026
The solicitor representing families affected by Lucy Letby's actions stated that hospital leadership failures contributed to delays in police involvement, according to reporting on the Thirlwall Inquiry's findings. The inquiry identified repeated instances where hospital leaders did not act on concerns raised about Letby. Letby, a neonatal nurse, was convicted in 2023 of murdering seven infants and attempting to murder six others at the Countess of Chester Hospital between 2015 and 2016.
