  1. Nobody does institutional cover ups quite like the NHS. 

    Great to see some of these filth getting caught out. 

  2. >It is important to note that this does not impact on the convictions of Lucy Letby for multiple offences of murder and attempted murder.

    It doesn’t? I don’t see how this can be both deliberate actions by Letby, and also leadership failings at the hospital sufficient to warrant arrests on corporate manslaugher.

  3. Lots of people on this site were aggressively arguing with anyone who even suggested the convictions were, at the least, handled wrongly.

  5. The more we hear about this case the more it seems that the evidence is not quite as slam-dunk as we’ve been led to believe.

    Paediatric experts are questioning the trial experts and there is a growing number of concerns about the strength of the evidence.

    I’m not saying she’s innocent (yet) but it does seem to be that the gaps are widening.

    Before anyone has a go at me, the judicial system and police have a history of this: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrongful_conviction_of_Andrew_Malkinson](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrongful_conviction_of_Andrew_Malkinson)

  6. The police are nowhere near intelligent or competent enough to handle this kind of thing.

  7. Yeah, mindless speculation and axe grinding isn’t helpful.

    Just let the police get on with their jobs.

  8. It’s hard to say this comes as a surprise.

    It seems the head of the trust and the head of nursing did everything they could to ignore serious concerns being brought to them.

  9. Doesn’t surprise me. The release of the e-mails a few months back did not paint a pretty picture. A complete lack of urgency and curiosity in trying to get to the bottom of what was going on being the obvious main one.

    I urge everyone to check the below which shows a timeline of events along with e-mails and notes sent at the time.

    I think the most suspicious part is the message that suggests they no longer discuss the situation via e-mail which makes me think they knew at the time something was up and the evidence trail would paint them in a bad light. Like no shit!

  10. Whilst there are questions over the conviction of Lucy Letby brought up by several experts (put 10 experts in a room and you will get 10 different answers) the question people should be looking at here is why are so many senior managers in an NHS trust being arrested and how far does the incompetence/criminality go? I suspect that there is a cover up mentality in the NHS senior management teams to protect their careers. Too many senior jobs being given to friends who aren’t the best candidates. There is a clear movement of senior management in the NHS who go from one failed trust to another that then fails. Just because they are friends with important people. Even when their failures catch up to them they secure a high paying job in another area of health care such as advising failing hospitals!

  12. All NHS are barstards, when?

    ANAB?

    Shipman? ADAB? 

    Or does this only apply to the police?
