Consultant Dr John Gibbs told the court ‘we didn’t have the full picture’.
Medics who flagged up worries about nurse Lucy Letby were unaware two babies had been poisoned with insulin, the murder trial heard.
But in August 2015 and April 2016, two separate blood test results revealed newborns had high levels of manufactured insulin in their system. A blood sample was sent to the Royal Liverpool Hospital for analysis which confirmed the insulin detected was not naturally produced.By that stage Child F’s blood sugar had stabilised and he had been moved to a different hospital closer to his parents’ home.
“I recall looking to see if anyone else had been given insulin to see if there was any possible accidental administration. No-one was prescribed in the neonatal unit with insulin at that time.”
