According to the lead consultant at the neonatal unit where Lucy Letby worked, hospital administrators sought to intimidate doctors while failing to look into the complaints against her.
Despite months of signs that the nurse may have been murdering babies, the hospital likewise took its time in notifying the authorities.
Letby was the subject of initial concerns from the unit’s head consultant, Dr. Stephen Brearey, in October 2015.
She continued to attack five more babies, killing two of them because nothing was done.
Letby has been found guilty of killing seven babies and attempting to murder six others in a neonatal unit at the Countess of Chester Hospital, in Cheshire.
Despite months of warnings, the first five murders all occurred between June and October 2015, and the final two occurred in June 2016.
