Neonatal expert ‘feels misled’ over involvement in Lucy Letby reviews

Doctor involved in review of deaths and collapses at hospital says she was not ‘adequately briefed’

A neonatal expert who reviewed the deaths and collapses of babies harmed by Lucy Letby has said she feels misled over her commissioning by hospital bosses.

Dr Jane Hawdon, a consultant neonatologist, said she was not “adequately briefed” about the suspicions of senior doctors about Letby before she carried out her analysis.
