Mother of murdered baby’s Lucy Letby concerns ‘not taken seriously’

After returning home, Baby D’s mother started to research the circumstances of her daughter’s death and pushed for a full inquest.

She said she felt the trust were not being clear with her.

“They weren’t giving all the information,” she said. “Nothing matched up. It was clear they were trying to hide things.”

She said that at no point, despite multiple meetings with the hospital, did anyone mention Letby’s name, or even divulge that a member of staff was under suspicion.

Had she have known this information, she said she would have gone directly to police.

When she did first raise the idea of involving the police, she said no-one had taken her seriously.

She told the inquiry she had pushed for her daughter’s case notes and started researching clinical guidelines.
