The woman in charge of nursing at the hospital when Lucy Letby murdered seven babies and tried to kill six more has been suspended from her current position, NHS England has confirmed.
Ms Kelly led nursing at the Countess of Chester hospital during Letby's time there. During Letty’s trial she was accused of failing to act on concerns raised by doctors.
Ms Kelly was first told in July 2015 that Letby was the only nurse on shift when three babies died in the space of two weeks. Letby went on to murder four more babies after concerns were first raised with Ms Kelly. The first of these was just one month after Ms Kelly received a report from lead consultant Dr Stephen Brearey.
The NHS manager was contacted again in February 2016 by Dr Brearey in February 2016 who found common links to nine deaths going back to mid-2015.
