Senior managers at Countess of Chester Hospital apologized for their significant delay in alerting police regarding nurse Lucy Letby's actions, acknowledging communications could have improved.
During the Thirlwall Inquiry, it was revealed that serious concerns about Letby were noted in June 2016, yet police were not contacted until almost a year later in May 2017.
Former hospital executives admitted their investigation into Lucy Letby was inadequate, failing to provide any substantial evidence on her involvement in the tragic deaths of infants.
The inquiry highlights a worrying neglect of duty of care from hospital leadership, which led to a delay in addressing the serious allegations against a staff nurse.
