The doctor who helped catch child-killer Lucy Letby has told ITV News that babies' lives could have been saved if hospital bosses had contacted police sooner. Dr Ravi Jayaram, who is a consultant paediatrician at the Countess of Chester Hospital, said he repeatedly raised concerns about his former colleague months before police were alerted. In an exclusive interview, he has detailed to ITV News how executives at the top of the organisation at the time told him to “draw a line” under his suspicions and to apologize to Lucy Letby for his accusations.

Can hospital administrators be held responsible for their actions when one of their employees kills someone?

Eventually, in April 2017 the trust allowed doctors to meet with a police officer who took their suspicions seriously. "The police, after listening to us for less than 10 minutes, realised that this is something that they had to be involved with. I could have punched the air," Dr Jayaram said. Shortly afterwards, an investigation was launched and Letby was eventually arrested.

The trust allowed doctors to meet with a police officer? What kind of power does the trust have anyway?

The article makes it seem like the hospital admin was valuing their reputations over the lives of babies. Am I missing something here?
