Health Secretary Steve Barclay told MPs he hopes the inquiry will be able to provide ‘vital answers to vital questions as soon as possible’
One of the country’s most senior judges will lead the inquiry into serial killer nurse Lucy Letby’s crimes, the Health Secretary has said.
He added: “I have raised with Lady Justice Thirlwall that the families should work with her to shape the terms of reference. Mr Barclay later told MPs: “The crimes of Lucy Letby were some of the very worst the United Kingdom has witnessed. He said such a recommendation in the 2019 Kark review had been previously looked at by the NHS but it was decided introducing wider changes called for by the same review 'mitigated the need to accept this specific recommendation on disbarring'.
“This will ensure the right standards, support and training are in place for the public to have confidence that NHS boards have the skills and experience needed to provide safe, quality care.” Concerns among some consultants about Letby increased and were voiced to hospital bosses when more unexplained and unusual collapses followed, her trial at Manchester Crown Court heard.
