NHS boss ‘who ignored concerns about killer nurse Lucy Letby’ puts his ‘immaculate’ house on the market for £650k
AN NHS boss accused of ignoring concerns about killer nurse Lucy Letby has put his house on the market for £650,000.
Tony Chambers was CEO of the Countess of Chester Hospital when Letby murdered seven babies.
He earned around £160,000-a-year before quitting in 2018 in the wake of her shock arrest.
During her ten-month trial at Manchester crown court, the jury heard how several doctors had raised concerns that were dismissed by senior executives, including Mr Chambers, 57.
He left the NHS two months ago with a £1.5million pension pot, with his last post being in West Sussex.
He and wife Alison bought the four-bedroom, Grade II-listed home in the North West for £550,000 in 2010.
A source said: “It is immaculate inside and out, so it’s a surprise it has come on the market as it’s the kind of home anyone would love to own.
“Maybe they want a new start. Mr Chambers has obviously attracted a lot of attention in the wake of Letby being found guilty.”
Grandad Mr Chambers, who has not been found guilty of any misconduct, is likely to be called as a witness at the statutory inquiry into Letby’s crimes.
He said in a statement after her conviction: “I am truly sorry for what all the families have gone through.”
Letby, 33, was told on Monday that she will face retrial on one count of attempted murder.
