Doctor 'ashamed' he failed to protect babies from harm, Letby inquiry told
A senior doctor said he is “ashamed” that he failed to protect babies from harm by serial killer nurse Lucy Letby. Consultant paediatrician Dr John Gibbs apologised to the parents of Letby’s 14 victims shortly after he was sworn in to give evidence at the Thirlwall Inquiry into the deaths at the Countess of Chester Hospital’s neonatal unit.
