THIS is the grovelling apology letter to child killer Lucy Letby which doctors were forced to sign after they repeatedly tried to blow the whistle on her.
The medics had attempted to raise concerns over the nurse following a string of unexplained baby deaths all happening while she was on shift.
But hospital chiefs told them to back off and say sorry – with Letby even offered a role at Alder Hey children’s hospital after bringing a grievance case.
Bosses at the Countess of Chester Hospital, Cheshire, warned whistle-blowing doctors of “consequences” if they continued to voice their fears.
The astonishing letter, sanctioned by the hospital’s former CEO Tony Chambers, read: “Dear Lucy, we would like to apologise for any inappropriate comments that may have been made during this difficult period. We are very sorry for the stress and upset that you have experienced in the last year.
