Karen Rees was the head of nursing in the hospital's urgent care division when concerns were raised about Letby.
A former nursing chief who was accused of refusing to remove Lucy Letby from a neonatal unit despite staff concerns has said she was unable to because she"needed more information".
Karen Rees had been the head of nursing at the Countess of Chester Hospital's urgent care division before retiring in March 2018.Letby murdered seven babies and attempted to murder six othersDuring Letby's trial at Manchester Crown Court, the jury were told how the neonatal nurse tried to kill a baby by injecting him with air during a day shift on Saturday 25 June 2016.
Ms Rees has now released a statement saying she wasn't given enough information to justify removing Letby from her duties. The former nursing chief says Karen Townsend, the director of urgent care at the hospital, and Ravi Jayaram, a consultant who was the clinical lead for neonates and paediatrics, told her during a general review meeting that there were concerns about Letby's clinical practices.
