Sick of all the headlines being about Letby’s lawyers seeking a pause to the inquiry when there has been so much other stuff said. But that was the plan, wasn’t it? To do it today so they could take over the headlines. It’s all part of the PR strategy. The solicitors have sent a copy of the letter to the media outlets. All of them saying they have seen the letter in full. It wasn’t about pausing the inquiry, it was about dominating the headlines with anything that is pro-Letby. And of course any refusal will just be added to the list of all the unfair things that have happened to Letby.
Anyway, this was buried in one article from COCH. Which is probably very significant for police investigation.
Mr Kennedy said: “We accept that the correct course of action at the end of October 2015 was for Letby to be excluded from the neonatal unit.
“We recognise the significance of this concession to the parents of children who were harmed or killed by Letby after the beginning of November 2015 and I can only say that the trust is profoundly sorry for the failure to intervene sooner.”
This is from the written submission that I presume he’s referring to. I think Powell may need to sweat over this as they are saying she downplayed Dr B’s concerns and no evidence she raised it with exec. That doesn’t absolve the exec for their inaction further down the line though.
