“You’re Saying She ISN'T Guilty” Dr David Bull Challenges Barrister on Lucy Letby

Neonatal nurse Lucy Letby was arrested in July 2018 and questioned about the unexplained rise in deaths and near fatal collapses of premature babies in the Countess of Chester Hospital's neonatal unit.

Criminal barrister Mark McDonalds joins Dr David Bull and Dr Renee Hoenderkamp to discuss the trial before the nurses sentencing on Monday.

As a senior NHS nurse, I will wholeheartedly say the management within the NHS is corrupt. They should be removed and replaced by clinicians.

Whistleblowers will not be tolerated in the nhs….ask anyone who has worked for them and tried to make a complaint about anything 🤷‍♀️

Cctv is needed over all hospital cots and beds of vulnerable people especially babies and children.

To be fair, I feel this barrister is being misrepresented. He didn't say - as the texts coming in suggested he did - that she wasn't guilty. He said the evidence on which she was convicted and the way in which she was investigated was very concerning and didn't *convince* him that she was guilty. He never said she was definitely innocent.

A end of life nurse tried starving and dehydrating an old lady my mother was helping, my mother gave her some water after she was begging for a drink! This was 6 years ago and this old lady is still going strong!
I find it hard to trust anyone these days 😢

Let's not forget the role of the senior hospital management. They were fully aware of the accusations and not only failed to investigate, but actively tried to quash those who were attempting to speak out.

They should also be in the dock for gross criminal negligence.

She was obviously a Patsy for the ante natal unit problems we have in many NHS units.
She obviously had a very poor representation in court.

[SuzannePowell-fblw]

I am so happy to hear a person brave enough to question this

[darylheasman]

I hope all the managers that tried to cover up this scandal face manslaughter charges for all the babies that died because of their negligence.

My late mother tried to report bullying by her boss when she was a nurse, and the higher ups were not even remotely interested. And this was in 1995. NHS has been corrupt for decades. It's not getting any better.

[mckenzie]

The whole NHS system needs to change. I once made a complaint about a procedure I had done. The hospital manager said they would 'investigate'. This comprised of asking the person I complained about if anything had gone wrong. The said no, so that was the end of the matter!!! It's like criminals policing themselves.

[mickilin]

11 months later and there's a lot more concern.
Well said Mark Mcdonald.

[michellemcgarr]

Those in management positions who overlooked the Doctors warnings should be charged with misconduct or aiding and abetting such crimes she was getting away with.

As soon as there was suspicious, she should not have been left alone with babies. At the very least they could have put up hidden cameras in the baby wards.

I was in hospital once for a few days and one nurse took a disliking to me for no apparent reason, in the night when her shift changed, I could hear her slagging me off to the next nurse when she briefed her, seemingly forgetting that I could hear everything she was saying. There are some very bad apples lurking in the shadows.

No post mortems were done on all the elderly that died of covid. The shipman law was repealed for covid and has not been reinstated. This to protect Hancock and co from prosecution.

Hospital Trusts Management teams are more concerned about their reputations than Patient safety.

[kham]

It’s amazing they never put cameras in after the first 2 deaths -they do it if they think a mother is harming a child m by proxy

[gherkamum]

24 Hour Video Cameras would make it safer in all maternity Units….this must never happen again.

[bellababy]

i do not think she’s guilty and it’s eating away at me each day. I am horrified by this
