This is a huge point. They knew. They shushed it up. They need to be all brought to account as well.

Letby put in a formal complaint saying that she was being bullied by the doctors who were complaining about her. A panel upheld her complaint and the doctors had to apologise.

Gah

Yes, it's impossible that they didn't at least entertain the idea that she was guilty with so many incidents and so many people speaking out. And the execs immediate response to that is to... silence the whistleblowers, to maintain the reputation of the hospital. Absolutely repulsive. They come very close to being accessories to the murders, in my opinion.

It has to be Criminal negligence at the very least.

The reviews they themselves commissioned (when they should have gone to the police) said at least 4 deaths should be forensically investigated and they ignored it.

Well in capitalist society daddy business man can do no wrong.

But yeah they should be held criminally respossible and there are laws to prosecute this under, it just won't happen.

This is the publicly owned and funded NHS, not a business.

The people running this "public" enteprise appear to be acting just vanilla business men 101 tho

Having seen the top end of an NHS trust some of it is similar to leadership at a big business in terms of attitudes. They care much more about reputational damage than dealing with problems sometimes.

The attitude of the medical director is so British
