Interview With Dr. Martyn Pitman On Lucy Letby & More

Dr Martyn Pitman, an obstetrician-gynaecologist and whistleblower from Winchester, discusses the CPS decision not to charge on new cases and what it reveals about the investigation's methodology. He introduces the case of Noah Robinson, a baby who died with a similar clinical picture approximately one year before the start of the indictment period and was never investigated, suggesting selection bias in how the cluster was defined. He argues that Dr Evans dismissed the input of obstetricians and maternal-foetal medicine specialists for reasons of financial self-interest and professional arrogance, and that this exclusion was fatal to the investigation. Pitman also explains the Swiss cheese model of clinical error and applies it to the Chester neonatal unit, arguing that multiple layers of defensive failure aligned to produce the outcomes attributed to Letby. He notes that NHS maternity litigation costs now exceed the entire annual maternity service budget.
