Solicitor from Rhyl-based law firm to take part in Lucy Letby inquiry

Elen Roberts, of Gamlins Law’s personal injury and clinical negligence department, has been appointed by Lady Justice Thirlwall, chair of the Thirlwall Inquiry, to represent one of the families.

The public inquiry will look at several areas including the experiences of the parents, conduct of staff and management at the Countess of Chester Hospital and the NHS.

Lady Thirlwall said: “The parents of the babies live with the consequences every day.

“On top of their grievous loss, they endured years of uncertainty about what had caused death or injury. For some, uncertainty remains.

“All have made it plain to me that they want to do all they can to make sure no one else suffers as they do.

“I, too, with the help of the inquiry team and many others, will do all I can to make sure that no one else suffers as they have. It is unconscionable that this situation would ever occur again.”

Simon Roberts, head of personal injury and clinical negligence at Gamlins Law, said: “We are pleased to have been instructed to be part of the Thirlwall Inquiry and look forward to helping to achieve answers for our client and other families whose lives were devastated by the crimes of Lucy Letby.”

Gamlins Law is the largest law firm in North Wales, employing 85 people, with a head office in Rhyl and further offices in Mold, Ruthin, Denbigh, Abergele and Holywell.

Its personal injury and clinical negligence team acts for clients involved in a wide range of matters including multi-party actions, serious and catastrophic injury cases and complex brain injury cases.

A Thirlwall Inquiry website, giving more details about the inquiry, was officially launched last week.
