Ahhhh Margaret, I remember the work you did around bereavement care for families experiencing the loss of a baby. That work paved the way for the services we have today, and I'm glad to say that they are excellent.

I also considered Munchausens by Proxy for Lucy Letby. In my mind it is just inconceivable that a professional in her privileged position can do this. There's no way she can be in her right mind, especially as she must've known she was under suspicion. Maybe she is a sociopath.

However, I have also found it disconcerting that a lot of the evidence against her was circumstantial, I feel that there will be an appeal coming on.

As a health professional (although semi-retired these days), I really do hope that there is a thorough and independent investigation into the complaints against her to managers and how this was handled. This must never be allowed to happen again in any NHS Trust. I completely agree that a charge of corporate manslaughter needs to be considered for the managers involved. I feel that this will drag on for years yet, and will prolong the suffering of those grieving families, and also the family of Lucy Letby, who have done nothing wrong but are no doubt suffering too.
