The president of the Royal College of Nursing has said racism is part of the reason why whistleblowers were ignored, and why Lucy Letby was allowed to kill for so long.
Letby, 33, was found guilty of murdering seven babies and attempting to murder six more while working in the neonatal unit of the Countess of Chester Hospital as a nurse between June 2015 and June 2016.
Dr Ravi Jayaram was among several consultants who began raising concerns about her in June 2015, pleading with management to investigate the nurse.
“If we are going to learn anything from this case we need to stop denying that racism is a serious issue in the NHS, this doctor would have been listened to if he was white and Lucy Letby would have been stopped sooner if she wasn’t white,” tweeted Sheila Sobrany.
“This was a serious safeguarding issue that compromised the lives and well-being of babies and subsequently their parents. Dr Ravi Jayram was not listened to or taken seriously.”
Instead, Dr Jayram told ITV he was told to apologise and attend mediation with Letby, while his job security was threatened and he was discouraged from going to the police.
I'm buying any of that. whenever none whites are found out to have been criminals people say 'the police were scared to investigate in case racism' . Dr J was listened to , but whoever looked into it just missed it. nothing to do with colour of either party.
What we have here is "The president of the Royal College of Nursing" trying to deflect shade from the royal college of nurses. (which shouldnt really be necessary as this crazy psycho is a one off)
