May 2026: Thirlwall Inquiry report delayed to at least September 2026 · six-baby inquests relisted to 2027 · CCRC review active · Shoo Lee Panel: no medical evidence of deliberate harm.
Following the September 2016 consultants' letter demanding police involvement, the Trust runs a formal HR grievance process against the consultant paediatricians. The sequence, later documented in Thirlwall Inquiry evidence, ends with consultants being required to meet Lucy Letby and apologise for having raised patient-safety concerns. The process is led by HR Director Sue Hodkinson, HR Business Partner Karen Townsend, and Director of Corporate Affairs Stephen Cross.
