Dr Ravi Jayaram and other whistleblowers raised the alarm in 2015, but were ignored and reprimanded by management
Dr Stephen Brearey, the lead consultant at the neonatal unit – who is white – also raised concerns about Brearey as soon as October 2015, as did several other consultants.
Mr Chambers said the decision to make consultants apologise to Lucy Letby “was a recommendation from the grievance panel”. Dr Jayaram told ITV News that his greatest fears about Lucy Letby were confirmed when he walked in on her attending to a baby one evening.“As I walked towards the incubator, I could see on the monitors that the oxygen saturations were dropping, and they’d dropped to a level that ordinarily the alarms would’ve been going off and the nurse would’ve called for help.
“However, the consultant paediatricians didn’t feel there was any further work or investigation – short of a police investigation – that could be done that would satisfy them that some of the deaths weren’t due to natural causes.” It is very typical of all the NHS cases of whistleblowing that managers resisted and attacked whistleblowers – this isn’t new, this is what happens.
