One of the main advantages of a statutory inquiry over a non-statutory inquiry is that witnesses can be compelled to give evidence under oath.
Statutory inquiries are given legal safeguards and “can set limits upon the Government’s discretionary control of an inquiry”, according to the House of Commons Library.
It will also examine wider issues at the hospital, including the handling of concerns and governance.The Department of Health and Social Care said the inquiry will “ensure vital lessons are learned and will provide answers to the parents and families impacted”.– Who could give evidence? Health commentators could also be called in to speak about wider pressures in the NHS at the time of Letby’s crimes.
