Haven’t posted much recently but have been following along. I wonder if the NHS will have to set up a compensation scheme for the babies yet to be confirmed, like they have done with other large scale fk ups? Also, what the hell was she planning to do on return to work? Stop harming babies and act smug? Lay low for a while then resume the killings? Come back “with a bang” 🤢 and do as much harm as she could because she was effectively untouchable? Use the information she shouldn’t have been party to, to scapegoat someone else? Get reinstated and obtain a glowing reference to take her evil somewhere else? I don’t understand why she was hellbent on going back to that unit.
I think she wanted to carry on where she left off, with the consultants warned not to raise concerns. She never learnt to back off and lay low when the death rate rose and she was taken off nights. She attacked baby Q the shift after baby P. If she had some self control she might have got away with it.

Part of my job is monitoring the local babies in NNUs. From doing that I can see the death rate for NNU babies is very low. So it doesn't surprise me there has been only one death since Lucy left.
Wish I could find data from before 2010- to see if it was 1 death or lower. It jumping to 3+ basically as soon as Letby got a foot in the door in 2011 onwards, skewering the “norms” like Dr Breary etc said

My take fwiw is a few things with letby desperate to get back on the unit.

1) She’s first and foremost a psychopath and was completely out of control and was desperate to get back on the unit so she could continue her spree, her ego was such she thought she was home and dry with so much going on behind the scenes that she was privy to ( patient safety desk job ) her bf feeding her info and management keeping her in the loop.
2) Her batshit parents pushing her to keep the heat on the hospital on the basis that “ she’s done nothing wrong “ she can’t just drop it and slope off somewhere new, she’s got to fight it.
3) She would need references no doubt ? That could put a massive spanner in the works.
4) I don’t think she’s remotely logical in her disordered thinking - she kept a massive amount of evidence where she could have destroyed the lot.
5) She was revelling in the whole situation and feeding off it - she needed it back.

Hope it's OK but I've taken the liberty of highlighting in your post what her likely plan was. Whether guilty or not her career as a nurse was over if she didn't get back on the unit. She couldn't move anywhere else until she had been thoroughly exonerated - her record would have had to be shared with any potential new employer. If it wasn't shared it would have come to light and there would have been consequences.

On the recent police interview, Mr McDonald said: "Lucy voluntarily attended an interview; she was not arrested.

"Lucy continues to maintain her innocence and as she has said throughout she has never and would never harm any child."

So what about the one she gave an overdose to then?

It’s weird but the highlighted bit is something that only occurred to me very recently but does seem most likely to me. We know she was engineering visits and training at other places whilst at her desk job.
I’m probably way off the mark with this but I do wonder if her parents had some financial tie to her house as well. I know she was on full pay for a while but if they had sunk savings into it and/or were guarantors they could stand to lose a lot of money if she lost her job. Hope they did 😅

The address in Hereford was made public, so they couldn't really stay there. Can you imagine the mail that house would be receiving, I can't see anyone else wanting to live there.

Oh what did he have to say for himself this time? That she wasn’t arrested and still claims her innocence? Anything about this meeting he arranged?

If you are in prison, would you lose privileges if the police have to arrest you in order to interview you? Is there an incentive to voluntarily attend?

I think she would be desperate to attend anyway. A great way for her to relive her crimes.

Todays transcripts are up already.
The coroner Mr.Moore is actually coming across quite good, the trust really held back information that would have started a police investigation sooner for sure.
Did someone say Mr. Cross isn’t going to appear ? I thought they weren’t allowed to say no, I think he has a lot explaining To do

Mr Cross is apparently too ill.

This article in the times reveals more details of two of the cases that are being investigated from Liverpool Women's hospital from October & November 2012.


"Among the cases at Liverpool that Cheshire police has asked expert medical witnesses to examine is the case of one baby born in October 2012. Medical notes reviewed by the experts record that the baby’s chest drain was dislodged once on October 26, twice on October 27 and once on October 29. The child’s breathing tube also fell out on October 29. Letby was on duty on all the days."

"In another case examined by the expert witnesses, a premature baby born at Liverpool collapsed in November 2012 after water from the ventilator circuit went down the baby’s endotracheal tube. The experts concluded that the reason for the presence of water in the tube was unexplained. Letby was again on duty."
