Lady Justice Thirlwall emphasized that the Thirlwall Inquiry will focus on the circumstances surrounding Letby's actions rather than her convictions, aiming to alleviate the parents' distress.
Rachel Langdale KC pointed out the troubling repetition of tragedies in the healthcare system, noting that '25 years later another nurse...killed and harmed babies in her care' after inquiries were conducted.
The inquiry will document parents' experiences and assess the actions of the hospital staff involved, rather than focusing on Letby's motives, which remain 'unfathomable'.
Langdale highlighted that historical inquiries, like those into Allitt and Shipman, did very little to reveal the reasoning behind the perpetrator's actions, thereby redirecting focus to better support future preventative measures.
