Anyone know if it's going to be viewable outside the UK?Yes, the sentencing part will be televised
because she "needed more information" ( on 24th May 2016)Ms Rees says in her statement: "Stephen Brearey was measured throughout... I said that if there were issues, then I needed to know what they were.
"Despite that, he refused to give me any more information. He said that he had evidence, but he refused to show it to me."
Ms Rees says she still doesn't understand why Dr Brearey wouldn't provide her with more information.

Lucy Letby: Retired nursing chief says she didn't have enough information to remove baby killer from unit
Karen Rees was the head of nursing in the hospital's urgent care division when concerns were raised about Letby.news.sky.com
It'll be on you tube.Anyone know if it's going to be viewable outside the UK?
Thank youYes, the sentencing part will be televised
What would happen if they dragged her into court and she started screaming, shouting or laughing? She would make the situation a sham. Leave her in the cell imoIt's awful.
To be honest, I'm just kind of skim reading the impact statements as I find them difficult to process.
I really wish they'd drag her from her cell, though.
Just a TV camera, focused only on the judge.Will there be cameras at the sentencing?
The father, choking back tears, describes the first visits of family members and introducing an older son to the boys. Things then started to go downhill. Child O’s deterioration was “horrific to see and an image I will never forget,” he continues. When his son was pronounced dead, he says: “I felt I had been stabbed in the heart.”I spent a brief bit of time holding the boys. We were so excited at how well they were doing and we commented at how identical they were. It was almost impossible to tell them apart.
The following morning, the parents were told Child O’s triplet brother Child P had declined.It was so distressing. I didn’t know what to say … I felt useless and blamed myself.
He says it was “very disturbing” to see the resuscitation attempts, and the boys’ mother blamed herself for their decline. Child P was pronounced dead hours later. After that, the parents begged a medical transport team to take the surviving triplet to another hospital.I was terrified I was going to lose my little boy.
The father says he has been signed off work sick by his GP as he had breakdowns and “started having terrible nightmares”.There was no contact from the Countess whatsoever … this has made us very upset and angry and we never intend to go there again.
On the first anniversary of the children’s deaths, he turned to alcohol. “I couldn’t stop… I became more dependant on the alcohol”. The father, now sobbing, says he once took the car keys and intended to end his life. He was “out of control”: “I was at rock bottom. I had lost my job, [my partner]”, he adds – referring to his separation from the children’s mother.Everyday life was difficult. Just getting through was a struggle.
The boys’ father says the evidence in the trial “sent shivers down my spine”.The weight of this has been unbearable.
Lucy Letby has destroyed our lives. The anger and hatred I have for her will never go away. It has destroyed me as a man, as a father. Even after the trial has ended it will continue to haunt us and continue to have an impact on our lives.
He could have asked the plumber to put in a good word about LL...Nothing in mitigation according to BM?
Just that she has maintained her innocence throughout.
Tortured until she had no fight left, ffs, these statements are heartbreaking11:05am
A statement from the mother of Child I is read out by Mr Astbury.
The mother recalls the first collapse of Child I made her "paranoid", and she was told the cause of it was an infection. She said she took extra precautions as nothing was worth the risk of this happening again.
She said the parents had a rota to be with Child I, which was "exhausting". At the second collapse, she had 'begun to relax' as Child I had been improving. The mother said within half an hour of visiting a friend, she got a call to go to the hospital asap.
When she arrived, she was on her own, it was "so scary" having to watch "our tiny girl fighting so hard".
"We kept thinking, why is this still happening?"
The collapses were "getting worse".
Before the third collapse, Child I was 'like a full-term baby' - a "very content little girl", and talked about bringing her home.
At the third collapse, the family were in 'fight or flight' mode. Child I had been unresponsive.
Child I 'suddenly picked up' after being transferred to Arrowe Park. She looked swollen, in a lot of pain, and her eyes looked very sad. She was transferred back to the Countess of Chester Hospital.
The family were told Child I could still be home for Christmas.
The mother said she was informed about another collapse for Child I. She felt uneasy, and went to the hospital. When she arrived, this was 'different', as Child I was not fighting.
"I couldn't look at the monitors as I knew she was worse than the previous times."
"I can't even begin to explain the pain when we lost her - our gorgeous little princess."
The mother said she would wear sunglasses to hide her tears from others in the months afterwards, and felt like she was "sinking into a black hole".
The father "really struggled" in the aftermath, and the impact was felt across other members of the family.
When the police contacted about the investigation, the mother said she thought it was about possible hospital mistakes. Upon being asked to relive the events, this had a big impact on her, and she started therapy for PTSD. She remebered her "whole body shaking" on the news Letby was arrested.
"We dug for years, trying to get answers for what happened...it's impacted so much of our family. To be told what happened to our daughter...I don't think I'll ever get over the fact our daughter was tortured until she had no fight left."
Just out of interest did you follow the trial? Because this information was relayed many times during the trial.How long was it from suspicions raised that babies were being harmed on the unit until the police were brought in to investigate?
Yes, there were none.Did we ever find out if there was any collapses that where the same on days when she wasn't working?
