Karen Rees described her desperation in urging a hospital executive to contact police regarding allegations that Lucy Letby was harming infants, emphasizing the urgency as reviews stalled.
During the inquiry, Rees admitted that she had never been so relieved as when police finally intervened in May 2017, over a year after concerns were first raised.
Rees initially doubted the validity of the concerns raised, believing they stemmed from personal biases of two consultant paediatricians against Letby, indicating a potential lack of objectivity in assessing the situation.
The ongoing inquiry led by Lady Justice Thirlwall highlights the tragic outcome of seven infant deaths and the systemic failures that allowed such events to escalate without timely intervention.
