The Telegraph absolutely not holding back here

A public inquiry into the chilling events at the Countess of Chester neonatal unit is the least the families of Lucy Letby’s victims deserve

There are two stories here. One of unbearable pain and sorrow, of innocents slaughtered in a place of safety, of a baby boy, no bigger than a bag of sugar, screaming because a metal object has been rammed down his throat. (He lost a third of his blood, that poor little boy, before he died.)
The second tale is monstrous in a different way. A story of bureaucratic arrogance, of a group of over-promoted nurses, not very bright, perhaps, with a big chip on their shoulder about the doctors who dared to suggest that a nurse – one of their own! – could be killing newborn babies in their NHS trust. That would have to stop. Management would humble those know-all paediatricians, flex their HR muscles, accuse them of trying to cover up their own inadequacies, show them who’s boss. Stop the pesky clinicians and their crazy allegations bringing the good name of the hospital into disrepute. Compel them to attend mediation, browbeat them into saying sorry to that poor lovely nurse who was feeling vulnerable and isolated.
“Dear Lucy, we would like to apologise for any inappropriate comments that may have been made during this difficult period. We are very sorry for the stress and upset that you have experienced in the last year. Please be reassured that patient safety has been our absolute priority during this difficult time.”
That was the formal written apology Dr Stephen Brearey, the neonatal unit’s lead consultant, Dr Ravi Jayaram and five other paediatricians had to write to the woman they had reason to suspect was murdering their tiny patients. Surreal, isn’t it? (File that letter for medical history under You Cannot Make It Up.
