Key Panel conclusions at a glance
- In every case reviewed, the cause of collapse or death was explicable by natural causes, prematurity, or identifiable sub-optimal clinical care.
- The signs of air embolism described at trial do not match those in the medical literature, including Dr Lee's own 1989 paper cited by the prosecution.
- The Roche insulin immunoassay evidence is unreliable for forensic use and was not confirmed by mass spectrometry.
- Staffing levels, unit designation and infant acuity at the Countess of Chester neonatal unit in 2015–2016 were inadequate for the complexity of care being delivered.
- The Panel recommends that the convictions be urgently re-examined by the CCRC and the Court of Appeal.
