A report from the Thirlwall Inquiry into the treatment of patients and workplace conduct linked to convicted nurse Lucy Letby is due to be published shortly, with outlets saying it will appear in the coming hours or on Tuesday. The inquiry examines what people involved with Letby’s work did and how concerns were handled.
The inquiry covers the period from 2012 to July 2016, including Letby’s time at the Countess of Chester Hospital and the circumstances around her removal from a neonatal unit. It was launched in 2023 and is closely connected to her later criminal case.
Both outlets frame the report as containing major findings, but they describe the timing and “bombshell” nature of the conclusions in different terms. The Daily Express explicitly links the report’s publication to Letby’s conviction and sentencing, while The Mirror emphasizes the scope of the inquiry’s review of those who worked around her and related actions taken during the earlier years at the hospital.
