'When students come through the system you are almost able to hand-pick the creme de la creme and she was one of those'
Senior consultant Dr Stephen Brearey was 'dithering' about reporting concerns because he was 'influenced' by her line manager, Eirian Powell, saying Letby could not have done anything wrong, the Thirlwall Inquiry into the events surrounding the crimes of Letby heard. On Thursday, the inquiry was told former neonatal ward manager Ms Powell said she had “no qualms” about employing Letby in January 2012 after she finished her training at the Countess of Chester Hospital.
Following the death of another infant in October 2015 Ms Powell drew up a table of the babies who had died in that period and all the nursing staff on duty during those shifts. Counsel to the inquiry Rachel Langdale asked Ms Powell: “Was there a time when you were doing that, you thought ‘actually the police should be doing this, not me’.”She added: “Nothing changed as far as the evidence was concerned. Nobody saw anything.Ms Langdale said: “When did you start to worry that her name kept coming up, if you did start to worry about that?”
At the beginning of her evidence the inquiry heard Ms Powell wanted to express her “sincere condolences” to all the parents and families for the loss of their children and harm suffered.
