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.
Independent paediatric-pathology re-readings of the post-mortem material are filed with the October 2025 supplementary CCRC submissions. The re-readings address Child O's liver findings (resuscitation-associated injury), Child E's bleeding (natural coagulopathy and stress ulceration), the absence of intravascular gas on any air-embolism case, and the NEC differential on multiple 'air in stomach' counts. The overall conclusion is that preserved post-mortem material is compatible with natural pathology.
