Former Hospital CEO Denies Letby Threat Allegations

During the Thirlwall Inquiry, Tony Chambers, the former CEO of Countess of Chester Hospital, detailed a tense meeting with Lucy Letby's parents in December 2016, where her father allegedly made threats, including metaphorically putting 'guns to his head,' in response to the allegations against Letby. Letby, who has been convicted of murdering seven babies and attempting to kill seven others, had been removed from her role amid growing concerns but was seeking to return to work. Chambers expressed his remorse to the victims' families but maintained that he bore no personal responsibility for the failures that allowed Letby to continue working for so long. Meanwhile, John Letby demanded the instant dismissal of two doctors who had raised suspicions about his daughter, claiming they had orchestrated a campaign against her. The inquiry also revealed that Letby's family pressured hospital staff, with Mr. Letby making repeated calls to a support nurse, causing her distress. Overall, the inquiry is probing the systemic failures that contributed to the tragic events surrounding Letby's actions.
