Current state
Lady Justice Thirlwall's public inquiry into Lucy Letby's crimes at the Countess of Chester hospital has published its report, finding that three babies might have survived if concerns about Letby had been acted on and calling on NHS England to implement 14 changes by March next year; ministers have promised sweeping NHS changes and urgent plans for live-streaming neonatal cameras, while critics say the inquiry left questions over Letby's conviction unaddressed by declining to pause proceedings.
