Publication date of final Lucy Letby inquiry report pushed back to early 2026
- The final report from the Lucy Letby inquiry, which examines the murders committed in a hospital neonatal unit, is scheduled for publication in early 2026.
- The report delay follows Lady Justice Thirlwall’s earlier hope to release findings in November 2025 after completing the report by that month.
- Letby, a former nurse convicted at Manchester Crown Court for the deaths of seven infants and multiple attempts to kill others between 2015 and 2016, is currently serving 15 whole-life sentences.

- Meanwhile, Cheshire Constabulary continues a review of deaths and collapses at neonatal units from 2012 to 2016, alongside a corporate manslaughter probe at the hospital.
