Lucy Letby: NHS managers must be held to account, whistleblower doctor says

Lucy Letby: NHS managers must be held to account, whistleblower doctor says Hospital managers should be regulated in a similar way to doctors and nurses, the senior doctor who first raised concerns about Lucy Letby has said.

Dr Stephen Brearey was the lead consultant on the neonatal unit where serial killer Letby worked and raised the alarm in October 2015.

He told BBC Radio 4's Today programme there was "no apparent accountability" for what NHS managers do in trusts.

Letby was handed a whole life sentence on Monday at Manchester Crown Court. BBC News
