Damning email told of ‘chaos’ on Lucy Letby ward Lawyers for victims’ families fear the killer ‘took advantage’ of overstretched baby unit Lucy Letby worked on a ward where a senior doctor said staff were “chronically overworked” NEWS GROUP NEWSPAPERS LTD Shaun Lintern , David Collins and Harry Yorke ORIGINAL Sunday August 27 2023, 12.01am, The Sunday Times A senior doctor warned that the neonatal unit where Lucy Letby worked was chaotic, overstretched and unsafe for patients and staff two years before the serial killer nurse was suspended.
