The fallout from the Lucy Letby case has reached further into the leadership of the Countess of Chester Hospital. Cheshire Police have arrested a senior healthcare executive on suspicion of perverting the course of justice as part of their widening criminal investigation into how the hospital was run during the period when Letby was murdering babies in its neonatal unit.
The arrest took place on Wednesday following a search of a property. The individual was subsequently bailed while the investigation continues. Police have not disclosed the age or gender of the person arrested or the location of the property that was searched.
