Hospital bosses who ignored concerns over nurse Lucy Letby were “complicit in the harm that was caused” and should face criminal action, a mother has told a public inquiry.

The mother of Child N, a baby boy who Letby attempted to murder, also said “nothing effective” had been done by NHS authorities to prevent another killing spree in a health setting since the crimes of Beverley Allitt and Harold Shipman.
