Two doctors said they raised their concerns about Lucy Letby with UK's Countess of Chester Hospital as early as June 2015 after three babies died, but they claimed they were ignored.
The hospital's executives have come under fire for failing to act sooner on concerns about British nurse Lucy Letby, which were reportedly raised by senior doctors as early as 2015.
The prosecution said Letby attacked her young and often prematurely born victims by either injecting them with air, over feeding them with milk or poisoning them with insulin. He told ITV News in a television interview after the verdict that four or five babies"could be going to school now who aren't", because of the inaction of the hospital management.
"The police, after listening to us for less than 10 minutes, realised that this is something that they had to be involved with. I could have punched the air," Jayaram said in an interview.As controversy swirled over allegations of inaction by hospital officials, the British government has ordered an independent inquiry into the cases.
