273 Thirlwall Inquiry of Lucy Letby, Testimony of Week 6 Day 3 PART 3

This is a transcript from the Thirlwall Inquiry, an investigation into the actions of Lucy Letby, a nurse accused of harming babies at the Countess of Chester Hospital. The excerpt features testimony from Yvonne Griffiths, a nurse who worked with Letby, and focuses on her understanding of the hospital's policies and procedures regarding clinical incidents, particularly those involving medication errors and patient deaths. Griffiths explains the hospital's protocols for debriefing staff after a death and the use of Datix forms for reporting incidents. She discusses the importance of staff training, especially in the context of safeguarding children, and how she felt that the hospital's communication and support systems were inadequate. Her testimony highlights the disconnect between the perceived understanding of procedures and the actual implementation of them.
