Hospital bosses 'complicit' and 'should face criminal action' over Lucy Letby mum of victim tells inquiry
The mother of a baby who Lucy Letby tried to kill says hospital bosses who ignored concerns about her were "complicit in the harm that was caused" and should face criminal action.
Letby injected the baby boy, known as Child N, with air at the Countess of Chester Hospital's neonatal unit in the early hours of June 3, 2016 and was convicted of attempted murder.
His mother has now said "nothing effective" had been done by NHS authorities to prevent another killing spree in a health setting since the crimes of Beverley Allitt and Harold Shipman.

However, lawyers for then-medical director Ian Harvey and nursing director Alison Kelly have told the Thirlwall Inquiry, which is examining the events surrounding Letby's crimes, they were not informed until late June 2016 about suspicions from medics that Letby was deliberately harming babies.
