Inquiry into Chester hospital’s neonatal unit also told inspectors ignored ‘serious patient safety concerns’
Letby, 34, was sentenced to 15 whole-life orders after she was convicted across two trials of murdering seven babies and attempting to murder seven others.
De la Poer said in his interview, Harvey was noted as saying: “… had to intervene with the neonatal lead as junior doctors had been referring to her as ‘nurse death’”. The CQC inspected the trust in February 2016, and during unannounced visits on 26 February and 4 March 2016. Earlier the inquiry heard that the hospital trust first characterised concerns over a high mortality rate on he neonatal unit where Letby worked as a risk to “reputational harm” rather than a threat to the safety of the infants.
De la Poer explained that the increase in neonatal mortality at the hospital and the concerns about Letby were matters that fell squarely within the remit of the quality, safety and patient experience committee .
