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.
Lady Justice Thirlwall's final report — focused on institutional failings rather than conviction safety — is now expected after the summer recess of Parliament (no earlier than September 2026). The Inquiry is not a criminal appeal and cannot itself overturn convictions.
