Just rereading some of the latest news articles. I wonder if Johnson was aware of LL attending Karen Rees' leaving party in March 2018? I wonder who else was there!
“Speaking about her relationship with Letby for the first time Karen Rees, the former deputy nursing director of the Countess of Chester Hospital, said that she had believed until the conclusion of the trial that the nurse was innocent.
I have no doubt at all that she was guilty of these despicable crimes, having seen the reports of the evidence,” she said. “I did not attend the trial so I had an incomplete picture until the verdicts were announced, and more detail provided.”
Rees said she had refused to believe in Letby’s guilt because she had had regular meetings with her after her suspension from the neonatal unit in June 2016, and had “witnessed her in complete distress, crying and swearing her innocence”.
Rees said: “She was very convincing. I now know that this was a calculated and successful attempt to make me believe her story, and I was deceived, as were so many others.”
It is understood that Rees regularly met Letby for coffee in the two years after her suspension, which she said was part of her job, and that the pair met socially outside work. She had told Letby “the intention was to get her back on to the neonatal unit”, according to The Sunday Times.
When Rees retired in March 2018, four months before Letby’s arrest, the killer bought her a leaving present and attended a small farewell party.
I wouldn't be surprised if Johnson KC/LEnforcement had evidence that some senior managers attended events, such as Chester Race days, on the days she did.
If that's right, they could be saving those photos for the public Inquiry.
Wouldn't be surprised if LL availed herself of some corporate hospitality.
The more that is revealed about the management the worse it gets.
- Ian Harvey is reported to have quipped - after being warned there'll be a public inquiry 'They'll have to find me first.' ( He moved to France and has done a moonlight flit this week)
- Karen Rees has swapped sides overnight & claims she's now a victim herself
- Alison Kelly has been suspended and is being investigated by her professional regulator
- Tony Chambers reportedly spent a great deal of time with Lucy and her dad John.
Here's Tony in
April 2016 commenting on CoC's negligence record. He's not commenting on the deaths in neonatal because they haven't gone public with those yet.
In April 2016 he was still battling consultants and shoring up a cover-up on Letby. This news article is approx a week after LL attempts to murder twins L & M
'......a great deal of effort that we have put into improving the culture of reporting with a real emphasis on openness, transparency and speaking out safely. That is what we value. We know we are not perfect, but we will not stop pursuing perfection.”
Alison Kelly, director of nursing and quality at the hospital, added: “While these cases are rare and tragic, we cannot ever be complacent about patient safety.
THE number of serious mistakes made by medical staff at the Countess of Chester Hospital has increased, according to latest figures.

In reality, during April 2016 Chambers & Kelly were still obstructing, as can be seen in the timeline. Behind the scenes they're all obstructing investigations but in public for PR purposes they're claiming patient safety comes first
Timeline of Lucy Letby’s attacks on babies and when alarm was raised
Lying for this crew comes very easy
By the time the Inquiry hears witness, it wouldn't surprise me if at least one of them claims PTSD to avoid an appearance. ( Becaues that's what CEO Martin Yeates did during Stafford Hospital scandal. Once the Inquiry had ended he was recovered from his PTSD and took another CEO post elsewhere. Remarkable recovery)
