Obstetrician Dr Jim McCormack was said to have made the remark during a meeting between medics and senior nursing staff after the sudden and unexpected deaths of two triplets at the Countess of Chester Hospital’s neonatal unit in June 2016.

Giving evidence on Tuesday at the Thirlwall Inquiry over the nurse’s year-long attack spree, the now-retired doctor denied naming Letby and said he did not even know who she was until he was asked seven months later to say sorry to her.
