The Countess of Chester Hospital where Letby worked is under mounting pressure over why the nurse was not removed from the neonatal unit sooner.
Nurse Lucy Letby has been found guilty of the murders of seven babies and the attempted murders of six others at the Countess of Chester Hospital
Following her conviction at Manchester Crown Court on Friday, two of the infants’ families said through a lawyer that it is “not the end of our search for answers”. The Chester hospital has come under scrutiny over when it called in police and whether more could have been done to stop Letby. Consultants wanted to go to the police but officers were not called and, in September 2016, the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health was called to carry out a review of the unit, the BBC said.The killer nurse launched a grievance procedure against the paediatricians which found she had been “discriminated against and victimised”, and they were forced to write her an apology letter.
