Lucy Letby public inquiry findings set to be published
Lady Justice Thirlwall’s inquiry will examine hospital management failures and wider NHS accountability after Letby’s convictions, with 15 whole-life terms already imposed.
- The Thirlwall Inquiry will publish its final report on Tuesday examining how former neonatal nurse Lucy Letby murdered and attempted to murder infants at the Countess of Chester Hospital between 2015 and 2016.
- Led by Lady Justice Kathryn Thirlwall, the £18.5m investigation scrutinized whether management, governance, and NHS structures at the Countess of Chester failed to protect babies from Letby, aiming to recommend systemic changes.
- While Letby is serving 15 whole-life prison terms, her defense lawyer Mark McDonald submitted "nearly 30 expert reports to the CCRC" alleging flaws in the convictions, though the inquiry did not examine her guilt.
- Thirlwall dismissed criticism of the convictions as "noise" that caused additional distress to families, even as two defense experts withdrew from Letby's team citing inconsistency with available science.
- Investigations by Cheshire Constabulary into three hospital executives for gross negligence manslaughter remain ongoing, with inquests into the deaths of the infants scheduled for May 2027.
