US EditionJeremy Hunt: Lucy Letby’s Case Must Be Re-Examined
- On June 19, 2025, Sir Jeremy Hunt, former health secretary and Conservative MP, urged a swift review of Lucy Letby's case after she was found guilty at Manchester Crown Court of causing the deaths of seven infants and trying to harm seven additional babies between 2015 and 2016.

- He and his parliamentary colleagues, including Sir David Davis, stress that concerns must be addressed urgently and the CCRC should speed up its normally slow process to ensure truth and prevent future tragedies.
