The former medical director of the hospital where Lucy Letby murdered babies has apologised to consultants “if they felt intimidated” by him. Ian Harvey was the most senior doctor at the Countess of Chester Hospital when the nurse killed seven infants and tried to take the lives of seven others between 2015 and 2016.

The Thirlwall Inquiry into events surrounding Letby’s crimes has heard the nurse was said to have felt consultants Dr Stephen Brearey and Dr Ravi Jayaram had “orchestrated a campaign” against her and that some doctors on the unit referred to her publicly as “angel of death” and “murderer on the unit”.

Tony Chambers, former chief executive at the Countess of Chester Hospital, has been accused of being too slow to act on fears raised over babies' deaths.

Lucy Letby’s father threatened to hold a gun to the head of the chief executive of the hospital she worked at, a public inquiry has heard.
