Lucy Letby: Whistleblower doctor on NHS accountability

Best of Today - A podcast by BBC Radio 4

Serial killer Lucy Letby was handed a whole life sentence on Monday at Manchester Crown Court for the murder of seven babies and attempted murder of six others at the neonatal care unit where she was a nurse. Today's Justin Webb speaks to Dr Stephen Brearey, who was the lead consultant on the unit where Letby worked and raised the alarm in October 2015. Dr Brearey claimed senior staff at the Countess of Chester Hospital were worried about reputational damage to the organisation, and that instead of acting on his warnings, he and his colleagues' lives were made 'very difficult'. He claimed his experience was not uncommon in the NHS.
