Yvonne Farmer, a practice development nurse, described the incident involving Lucy Letby as a "very serious error." She noted that Letby was not far into her nursing career, indicating a lack of experience, yet was outside the supervision period required by the Nursing and Midwifery Council.
Farmer highlighted the aftermath of the incident where Letby was required to undergo extra training. When questioned about Letby’s feelings regarding her inability to administer controlled drugs, Farmer acknowledged it was unusual for a nurse to be unhappy about such restrictions in light of a serious error.
Letby demonstrated concerning behavior when she encountered another incident where she administered non-prescribed antibiotics to a baby. In her reflection, she claimed that the situation was "unavoidable" and that care was provided to the "best of our ability," which was challenged by the inquiry’s counsel as displaying poor insight into her actions.
