Coroner never told by hospital bosses of Lucy Letby suspicions, inquiry told
Briefly

Alan Moore, then-assistant coroner for Cheshire, revealed that hospital officials failed to communicate their suspicions about nurse Lucy Letby being involved in baby deaths during key meetings. This lack of communication obstructed timely investigation into the neonatal fatalities.
Consent from the Countess of Chester Hospital was crucial; Stephen Cross never mentioned to coroner Alan Moore about suspicions regarding Letby during a critical inquiry meeting, which could have altered the investigation's course.
Counsel Nicholas de la Poer KC highlighted that consultant paediatricians had raised significant concerns about Lucy Letby, prompting an independent review, but these concerns were kept from the coroner, preventing him from possibly alerting the police.
