What Did Dr. Susie Holt Say About Lucy Letby

The host examines all available references to Dr Susie Holt in the Thirlwall Inquiry documents, characterising her as a peripheral but complicit figure who consistently supported the consultant group's narrative against Letby without providing independent evidence. The video covers key documents including the January and February 2017 letters to CEO Tony Chambers demanding coroner involvement, a revealing private email in which Holt advises colleagues to make the clinical picture look suspicious to 'pique the interest' of police, and her presence at the 15 May 2017 meeting with Cheshire Police. The host also notes Holt hosted a Welsh Paediatric Society conference on the same day as the first police meeting, attended by Ravi Jayaram and John Gibbs.

Susie Holt (email quoted from Thirlwall Inquiry documents)

To avoid the all neonates likely to die mentality I think we need to be more explicit if possible and have suspicion of criminal activity comment next to any of those where people can recollect abnormal behaviour. If I were police reading this I would want to know which cases to pick up first to prove disprove criminal activity.

Susie Holt (email quoted from Thirlwall Inquiry documents)

We have to be careful in putting it in writing but as Simon said we have to show them evidence or potential evidence of criminal activity or we will continue to be drowned out by endless trust level reviews.
Topic: Holt private email on framing evidence for police

Speaker 1 (host)

She is bizarrely critical of outside agencies and appears steadfast in her refusal to accept anything other than the perspective of the consultants, even questioning the legitimacy of the Royal College, the coroners, and the independent grievance procedure.
