Dr Dewi Evans says the case was 'absolutely appalling' and 'beyond belief'.
he would like to see changes made to the structure of the NHS which would allow "people with responsibility for sick patients to have the authority to act effectively when things are not working properly".He said he understood that an inquiry would take place, but feared this may delay necessary action, adding: "I think we know enough already to know that change as to where responsibility rests in NHS hospitals should happen now.
Tony Chambers, Countess of Chester Hospital's chief executive at the time of the murders, said in a statement that he was "truly sorry" for what the families had gone through. He added: "As chief executive, my focus was on the safety of the baby unit and the wellbeing of patients and staff. I was open and inclusive as I responded to information and guidance."
The medical director at the time, Ian Harvey, said he had been "determined to keep the baby unit safe and support our staff", adding that "there should be an inquiry that looks at all events leading up to this trial". The hospital's current medical director, Dr Nigel Scawn, said the whole NHS trust was "deeply saddened and appalled" by Letby's crimes and "significant changes" had been made.
