Spike in midwives seeking support could be down to Letby case, charity says
A sharp increase in the number of midwives seeking mental health support could be down to the impact of the Lucy Letby case, according to a charity.
The Laura Hyde Foundation said there are concerns the Letby trial “tarred many excellent midwives with the same brush” leading to them “being suspected of negligible and criminal behaviour, often without any evidence”.
The charity received 3,074 calls from midwives in 2023, up 119%
