[ It said he and senior colleagues raised concerns to hospital managers and that he wished he had been more courageous - that indicates it ended there when they brushed it off.

He not only had power to raise it further, he had a duty to raise it further. They at the very least, suspected that she wasn’t performing well and may be implicated in babies deteriorating some how.

Yeah Slingo was saying him raising concerns wasn’t plausible, and asked me where I thought him raising concerns would fit in the timeline.

What I’ve seen is some individuals defending and justify Lucy’s behaviour on various bits of evidence - who is the one on trial for murder remember - but then outraged at the one witness who has testified he suspected her (I totally agree he didn’t do enough and people can be angry about that). I’m certainly not saying don’t be angry at him. I just don’t know how people can only be angry at him and defend her, or justify her actions.

She was the one that just dismissed the 3 June baby deaths in a message to her colleague who raised how odd it was with her. If you don’t think she’s guilty of murder then didn’t she fail in her job just as much as he did?

Perhaps to protect her career and family?
No one wants the UK media at the doorstep hounding them post trial, (we know what they can be like) it's not something you want to be associated with for the rest of your career as someone who worked along side a horrific baby killer.

it had four colleagues names on didnt it?

Looks like he’s not the only one to be angry at then. But very, very damning for Lucy that multiple colleagues had suspicions about her. Especially if we don’t see her raise any concerns herself. And very damning that the hospital bosses ignored the concerns people were raising.

This is why the scapegoat thing makes no sense. It looks far worse for the NHS that they ignored concerns over a nurse potentially hurting/murdering babies than just admitting understaffing and generally lower standards of care.

I’ve wondered if it’s staff still working in the NNU at COCH that are not allowed to be named?

Notworthy

To me it sounds as though he just raised the point that Lucy was always there rather than actually anything more concrete. According to his testimony it was he and some senior colleagues that raised concerns. Is it really likely that that would be dismissed if they actually presented a reasonable case to Managers. I'd be more inclined to believe that concerns were dismissed if it was 1 Nurse but Doctors, including Senior Drs, no, not buying it.

She still works there?

I do wonder if there's any mileage in the adult nurse not being named because she potentially also has a case to answer and it would jeopardise a fair trial for her at some later date.

Yes it is very concerning indeed. So many people have failed those babies from what I can see. We don’t know that she didn’t raise any concerns I don’t think that’s ever been mentioned in the trial? Or has it?
I’m not really shocked that the hospital bosses ignored concerns that’s the culture of the NHS. I’d like to hope this case will turn that around but I very much doubt it.

Very interesting point, does anyone with legal knowledge know if this is a thing?

Now that's something that hadn't crossed my mind! I was thinking more along the lines of she still works there?

Well if the response they got was “you shouldn’t be saying such things” it makes me wonder did they speculate she was involved in harming them, or incompetent at her job. It would be interesting to hear more from him about what exactly was raised as it’s left very open unless they did and they aren’t reporting it. I wonder if we’ll hear from the other senior colleagues he mentioned raised concerns with him.

But how would he get anything more concrete other than following her around (which she'd probably class as harassment and would mean his other patients were neglected)...... And you can't accuse someone of wrong doing with no evidence or she'd be able to file a grievance against HIM.

With something like this, the reason it was the perfect crime is she did it during the course of her job, using methods not detectable unless you know what you're looking for. And then you need to be able to prove it.

Let's not forget senior doctors did ask for CCTV to be installed (the RHCP report said so). That was before June 2016 but the nurses refused as they thought it showed a lack of trust from management.....And you can't force it on them without evidence of wrongdoing, as unions etc.
I wonder if LL was involved in the nurse's decision to refuse CCTV too.

Oh yes totally agree. I’ve never been onboard with the scapegoat theory. If anything this latest witness just confirms to me the attitude of the hospital
bosses was to just sweep everything under the carpet and ignore their employees concerns. They are fully responsible either way.

Wellthisisinteresting

I wonder if Lucy raised concerns to colleagues, was everyone raising concerns on what they are seeing and the increasing number of deaths but her?

The report sounds very interesting and relevant. Can someone add it to the wiki please? Or if anyone can post the link here I’ll add it.
