MP Helen Morgan has asked for reassurance from the Government that failings in the NHS will be properly acted upon after the 'unspeakably evil' crimes of Lucy Letby came to light.
The MP asked the Health Secretary Steve Barclay to reassure patients after the events in Chester.
Helen Morgan MP asked the Secretary of State: “My thoughts and prayers and those of my party are with everyone affected by the unspeakably evil crimes of Lucy Letby. "Now, in this instance, we have had a serial killer in play, and that makes it unique. But it's clear that there have been management failings: failings written to senior clinicians, potentially even a cover-up.“As the MP for North Shropshire, I've seen management failings at the Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital Trust. My colleague for Westmorland and Lonsdale has highlighted their failings at Morecambe Bay. We have had numerous inquiries into management failures at the NHS.
“We have said 'never again' so many times, and we are still here. So how can the Secretary of State reassure parents and people whose lives are being treated in the NHS that this time we will say 'never again' and we will mean it?”
