The findings of a public inquiry into how former neonatal nurse Lucy Letby was able to repeatedly murder and harm babies have been published. Inquiry chair Lady Justice Thirlwall says there was a "complete failure to protect babies" at the Countess of Chester Hospital where Letby worked and it will never be possible to know for certain how many lives could have been saved. Thirlwall also says parents of the babies were "kept in the dark for years" over concerns that their children may have been deliberately harmed. The Inquiry was not commissioned to examine her guilt. Instead, it looked at how the hospital handled concerns about her conduct and whether action could have been taken sooner to stop her. Letby, now 36, is serving 15 whole-life prison terms for murdering seven babies and attempting to murder seven others, including one baby whom she tried to murder twice.
