Lucy Letby inquiry: Hospital boss ‘lied about son’s death probe’

A review of the neonatal unit was carried out by the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health in September 2016.

Two reports were later produced – one was marked confidential and included references to Letby, the other version did not.

At a later date, Baby C’s mother was given the non-confidential report and was led to believe it was the full document but she told the inquiry it was “woeful, information was missing”.

She said: “I felt they didn’t want to show us anything – especially because any answers they may have found might have hurt the trust in some way.”

She said she had lost all faith in the hospital and had felt like she was “banging my head against a brick wall”.

“There was a report, somewhere, into my dead son and they wouldn’t let me have it. They wouldn’t be transparent and open with me,” she said.

Baby C’s mother said she had not been handed the full report until eight years after her son’s death.

She told the inquiry she had known nothing about the suspicions until she received a phone call from the police to informing her they had made an arrest.

“To not inform us until someone is arrested was unforgiveable,” she said.

“There had been layer upon layer of investigation and to get a phone call out of the blue that someone was being arrested was an absolute shock.”
