Nurse Lucy Letby found caring for less sick babies 'boring', her murder trial is told
Lucy Letby is accused of murdering and attempting to murder babies on a neo-natal ward
Ms Letby is accused of murdering seven babies and attempting to murder 10 others at Countess of Chester Hospital in 2015 and 2016.She is also said to have argued with a senior colleague when asked to work in an "outside nursery" where babies were treated in preparation for going home. On Tuesday, senior nurse Kathryn Percival-Calderbank told jurors Ms Letby was "unhappy" if she was allocated shifts in either room three or four."She said it was boring and she didn't want to feed babies. She wanted to be in the intensive care."
"It was more that we were worried for Lucy's mental heath because it can be upsetting, emotional and sometimes exhausting as well at the end of a shift, if you're constantly put in that stressed situation all the time.She recalled an argument with Ms Letby who was "upset" at a shift allocation, sometime before June 2016.
