Health Secretary Yvette Cooper has said officials will "urgently develop plans" to introduce live-streaming cameras on England's baby wards after an inquiry into Lucy Letby's murders and attempted murders.

Inquiry chair Lady Justice Thirlwall called for a series of urgent reforms to neonatal units, including CCTV for all cots and incubators, and restricting access to insulin.

Thirlwall said some of the babies Letby killed could have been saved if managers at the Countess of Chester Hospital had taken action earlier.

Her report criticises a "complete failure to protect babies" and a "profound failure of management, governance and safeguarding" at the hospital.
