I am surprised to find that the @Thirlwall_Inq report does not include any reference to the competencies of all the doctors and pathologists who failed to detect the murders that long retired paediatrician Dewi Evans was able to identify so quickly and easily.

Welcome to the UK where thousands of people who are already dying, and want to die a bit quicker, are not allowed to. And thousands of people who don’t want to die end up dying because they can’t get access to the right care quickly.

I was asked to write a briefing paper for someone high up whom I won't name. It has also been suggested I made it public so I have put it on my blog, here (mephitis.co/post/briefing-pa…). Feel free to use it, make suggestions, let me know of any errors, etc.

Lessons from Letby. Never build a case on statistics presented by non-statisticians. Insist all expert witnesses declare referrals to the GMC questioning their competence. Insist all experts present all plausible explanations, not just those that suit the side paying them.

The Thirlwall Inquiry was set up to examine events at the Countess of Chester Hospital, following on from the conviction of Lucy Letby.
Its terms of reference are built on the assumption of Lucy Letby's guilt. Today, I held an Adjournment Debate on why the Inquiry should have its terms of reference widened to recognise the multiple failings at the hospital.
