Similarities to how whistleblowers were treated when raising concerns about convicted child killer Lucy Letby have been seen across Yorkshire hospitals, it has been claimed.
She added: “I have seen similarities in how the Letby case was handled and staff being shut down and told they need factual evidence.”
Letby was jailed in August for a whole life term for murdering seven babies and trying to kill another six at Countess of Chester Hospital between 2015 and 2016. Dawn Parkes, interim chief nurse at York and Scarborough’s hospital trust, said “any hint” of something wrong regarding patient care should be “explored,” even if there is no hard evidence of wrongdoing.
Jenny McAleese, a non-executive director at the trust, said: “There’s not many concerns raised about safety and quality and I just wonder whether we just need to have a bit of a conversation about that and make sure people know that the freedom to speak guardian is there.”
