Publisher's Synopsis
In May 1991, Nurse Beverly Allitt was arrested for the murders of four children and the attempted murders of nine others in the care of the Grantham and Kesteven General Hospital, crimes for which she was consequently convicted. This shattering news left questions which needed urgent answers: How was she allowed to qualify as a nurse? Why were her crimes not detected earlier? What can be done to prevent another similar tragedy occurring in the future? This inquiry, chaired by Sir Cecil Clothier, provides answers to these questions and makes recommendations for changes in procedures.
