It is right to hold an inquiry, but the hunt for ‘lessons to be learned’ and a system to blame can easily go too far

Incredibly, a campaign has begun to raise funds for an appeal on behalf of Lucy Letby. It is in its embryonic stages at present, but it appears to be gathering some kind of momentum. It claims that her conviction might be “the greatest miscarriage of justice in the whole of British history”.


I have said before, with genuine sincerity, that nothing could possibly surprise me any more following the events of these last few years. But if this conviction turned out to be unsafe then, I must admit, even I would be reeling in shock and amazement.

I only heard about this case on the last day so don't know much about it,  someone said that two of the babies died when she wasn't there,  perhaps faulty equipment - there are always people who will disagree on any issue, in this instance it may be people who are wanting to be on the 'safe side'.

It is being claimed that, contrary to the evidence heard in court, the toll of deaths and serious injuries to babies on the unit did NOT decrease after Lucy Letby was removed from duty. If this is true then…..well…….I have no idea what to make of it.
