A hospital boss has apologised to the families of Lucy Letby’s victims “for the pain that may have been prolonged” by his “decisions or actions”.
Tony Chambers was chief executive of the Countess of Chester Hospital during the time the neonatal nurse murdered seven babies and attempted to murder seven others in 2015 and 2016.
Mr Chambers, giving evidence at the Thirlwall Inquiry into the events surrounding Letby’s crimes, said: “Right at the outset I just want to offer my heartfelt condolences to the families whose babies are at the heart of this inquiry.
I can’t imagine the impact this has had on your lives and I am truly sorry for the pain that may have been prolonged by any decisions or actions I took in good faith.” READ NEXT: When Callum left home that day I never thought for a moment that he wouldn't return home' He also told the inquiry his biggest personal failing was the communications with families which “could and should have been better”.
