A public inquiry led by Lady Justice Thirlwall has found that three babies murdered by former nurse Lucy Letby could have survived if NHS managers had alerted police sooner, prompting the Daily Mail to ask readers whether the authorities have done enough for the victims' families. The findings add to mounting scrutiny of hospital management failures during the Letby case and reignite questions over how such warnings were handled at the time, given the serious implications for patient safety and institutional accountability.

The report recommends installing "cot cams" in neonatal units to improve monitoring and criticises the conduct of managers and senior staff involved. Lady Justice Thirlwall reserved particularly strong criticism for what she called the "reprehensible" treatment of the babies' parents by those in charge. The Daily Mail is inviting readers to vote in a poll and join a discussion on whether enough has been done for the families affected.
