Letby Inquiry Report

Thirlwall Inquiry Report Into Killer Nurse Lucy Letby Scheduled For 2025 Release

Inquiry report into the crimes of killer nurse Lucy Letby, conducted by one of the country's most senior judges, Lady Justice Thirlwall, will be published in 2025. The inquiry, which heard evidence from various witnesses, included the parents of Letby's victims and the conduct of those working at the Countess of Chester. It was conducted to seek answers for the victims' families and ensure lessons are learned, 25 years after another nurse, Beverley Allitt, committed similar crimes on a children's ward in Grantham, Lincolnshire. The investigation did not examine Letby’s convictions or motives but instead focused on the conduct and governance of those at the hospital. Letby was moved from the neonatal unit to administrative duties in 2016 after consultants expressed concerns about her.
