Caroline Wheeler

Caroline Wheeler, Political Editor of The Sunday Times, teams up with Dr. Shu Lee, a retired neonatologist who questioned the research used in Lucy Letby's trial. They discuss stunning new findings from a panel of experts who attribute the deaths of the infants in question to medical conditions instead of murder. The conversation highlights major flaws in the original investigation and raises concerns about systemic healthcare failures. Listeners are invited to reflect on the implications of these revelations for justice and medical accountability.

After decades of buck-passing and over 3000 deaths the infected blood inquiry published its final report finding that patients were betrayed by 'cover-up'. The chairman of the inquiry said the ‘scale of what happened is horrifying’ and the prime minister has apologised. So, as ministers prepare to pay out billions of pounds in compensation, will this be enough for the families of those affected? Has justice finally been achieved? We ask Sunday Times’s Caroline Wheeler, who helped bring the inquiry about.This podcast was brought to you thanks to the support of readers of The Times and The Sunday Times.
