Interview With Michele Worden On Lucy Letby Questions

Michele Worden addresses viewer questions and explores the history of the neonatal unit before Letby's tenure. She describes the changes brought about by Dr Stephen Brearey's arrival and the unit's downgrade from Level 3 to Level 2 status, which meant it was accepting babies who were too premature and too sick for its capability. She explains the grievance procedure Letby was subjected to: her grievance was upheld, but the apologies offered were non-apologies that did not acknowledge wrongdoing. She challenges the prosecution's insulin stockpile theory, arguing that the logistics of accumulating and storing sufficient insulin undetected were implausible given the ward's layout and stock control. She also provides context on APGAR scoring, explaining how the prosecution misrepresented low scores as evidence of harm rather than as routine documentation of premature infant condition at birth.
