Take away the number she was convicted for and you will see there was still an excess of mortalities. Systemic failure of care and the unit was under pressure from an influx of sick babies from another unit at the time. There always has to be somebody at fault and rather than damage the reputations of a couple of highly regarded consultants…..well we know the rest.

Look at the data and you will see once you take away the number she was convicted for, there was still an excess well over the normal limit. She couldn’t have been anything to do with them as she was not at work. Systemic failure from the top down. We can’t be asking questions and ruining a couple of consultants lives now can we? Easier to throw her under the bus and they can get on with their lucrative lives.

If you take away the ones she was convicted for in that timeframe and see that there was still an excess of mortality than normal on top of that, then there has to be questions to be asked. It basically says that something was going seriously wrong in that place. When they chuck somebody under the bus you have to look at the hierarchy. Who tells the nurses what to do? Answer is the consultants. They are like anybody else at the top of their game. Respected and untouchable. What have they to lose when serious questions start being asked? The answer is everything. What is the solution to deflect the blame of bad practice? Well we all know that. A young woman is going through one if the worst possible things that can happen to them. The thing is if she eventually walks free, the ones who should be being investigated will now be free to carry on with their careers regardless. This is how the system protects the higher ups. Lucy will always walk around with that “but was it her really?” tag against her name. If you look at the data, you can read the data you can easily see something is not right. Why was there still an excess when you take away the ones she was convicted for? We know she couldn’t of been anything to do with the others because she wasn’t there at the time. Doesn’t it seem strange that in that couple of months when it all happened, another unit sent all their seriously ill babies to that unit, so it made that unit chock a block. That is when the failure happened.

@mmcd256 wow I didn’t know that. The only thing is the nurses get told what treatment to give as every baby has a different condition. The nurses are not qualified to make a diagnosis. That is what consultants do and there were consultants telling them the treatments they had to give. I don’t know what happened when a baby crashed, but shouldn’t a team be rushed in to try to save their lives? This would definitely include somebody like a consultant, doctor, or at the very least a head nurse to be in that team. There was a systematic failure and that means somebody was to blame. That stops with the ones who are diagnosing and telling the nurses what type of treatment to give.
