‘We should have escalated matters earlier’, Lucy Letby doctor says | BBC News

A senior doctor who tried to raise concerns about Lucy Letby with hospital managers has told the BBC he wishes that he and others “had been brave enough to follow our suspicions and escalate things to the police earlier”.

Consultant paediatrician Dr John Gibbs worked at the Countess of Chester Hospital throughout the period in 2015 to 2016 when Letby murdered seven babies, and attempted to murder seven more, on the neonatal unit.

He said that he accepted that consultants must bear "collective" responsibility for some of the failings identified in the report.
