LUCY LETBY CASE: PART 22
Thirlwall delay
PUBLICATION of the Thirlwall Inquiry report into what happened at the Countess of Chester (CoC) hospital has been delayed until “early 2026”, presumably to give the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) time to determine whether Lucy Letby’s convictions should be referred back to the appeal court.
“Warning letters” are due to be sent out from September 2025 to those who are likely to be criticised for not spotting or stopping Letby sooner. However, if the convictions are later overturned, Thirlwall may end up criticising the wrong people, or criticising the right people for the wrong reasons. No wonder she’s delaying. Perhaps the General Medical Council (GMC) can help?
