Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman Rob Behrens has set out his views in a letter to Health Secretary Steve Barclay.
Ministers said the inquiry will investigate the events on the Countess of Chester Hospital’s neonatal unit between 2015 and 2016
The Government ordered a probe after the nurse was last week found guilty of murdering seven babies and trying to murder six more. “The inquiry should have all possible levers available to it to get to the truth. The families involved deserve no less.” Mr Behrens said in his letter: “Although the appalling actions of Lucy Letby are extremely rare, unfortunately, the culture of fear in NHS trusts is not isolated to this case.
He said: “I have had clinicians throughout the last six years get in touch with me and say they have patient safety issues to raise but they fear that if they raise them they will be disciplined and they will lose their careers.”
