go to the background and context on the website and on the app. the situations we are discussing, some of the death of babies, they can be very distressing to hear, they can be triggering, and if you need support, you can see the details online. i am going to turn back to my colleague while we wait to hear from the hospital, you have been in court threw out. the medical care at the hospital, particularly on the neonatal unit, is something that we are notjust talking about neonatal unit, is something that we are not just talking about today, neonatal unit, is something that we are notjust talking about today, it has been focused on threw out the
taken so long, and also why the jury have been out for so many hours in this case. yeah, so as i say, it has been an incredibly difficult trial to cover, and as the judge addressing thejury to cover, and as the judge addressing the jury today said, they will now be discharged from any future jury service due to the level of detail they have heard in his case. ., , case. dan o donoghue, my correspondence case. dan o donoghue, my correspondence here - case. dan o donoghue, my correspondence here at - case. dan o donoghue, my - correspondence here at manchester crown court who has been in court threw out this trial, hearing much of the distressing and harrowing evidence that has been presented to the jury. evidence that has been presented to thejury. we have also been hearing in the last couple of hours since the conclusion of the trial about further investigations into lucy letby s nursing career, notjust at the countess of chester hospital but at liverpool women s hospital and other
investigation, of course, was focused on that 12 month period when she was working in the neonatal unit at the countess of chester hospital, but the wider investigation now is looking at her whole career. that is the next logical looking at her whole career. that is the next logical step looking at her whole career. that is the next logical step that looking at her whole career. that is the next logical step that the - the next logical step that the police and crown prosecution service are looking at her whole footprint, her time from studying at the university of chester to become a nurse, she went on to do placement at liverpool women s and got a job at liverpool women s and got a job at the countess of chester in 2012. there are questions around why this offending began in 2015, so it makes sense to go over the years before and see what children she had contact with and whether there was any more offending. contact with and whether there was any more offending. looking at that
we have heard of since those verdicts were delivered from various people who worked there at the time, but he was saying that lessons had been learned, he talked about operating procedures being changed as a result of that. we can talk to our health correspondent, dominic hughes, who was listening outside the hospital. there is a lot of focus, he talked about the families, he talked about changes being made, but there are calls already for an inquiry into how this could have happened and for so long. yeah, i think that is happened and for so long. yeah, i think that is almost happened and for so long. yeah, i think that is almost inevitable, i think that is almost inevitable, isn t it? given the scale of what we have heard during the course of lucy letby s trial, and in what we have heard since the trial has ended from members of staff here who tried to raise legitimate concerns about what was going on in that unit and were ignored by management. now, i have to say that the managem
trial and beyond lucy letby, the general care on the unit has been called into question. called into question. yes, it has, it featured called into question. yes, it has, it featured as called into question. yes, it has, it featured as part called into question. yes, it has, it featured as part of called into question. yes, it has, it featured as part of lucy - called into question. yes, it has, | it featured as part of lucy letby s case, there were repeated claims of staffing issues in the hospital, that it had taken on more babies than they usually would, the prematurity levels which the hospital could not cope with. it came up during the trial that at various stages, there were some times issues with equipment, so this has been a problematic case as well for the hospital at that time, and the state it was in, and obviously, as we have heard, there are now calls for a public inquiry, which will be able to drill into the detail and get to grips with exactly what was going on,
