Barrister Sir Robert Francis KC has been asked to examine how the NHS responded to Allitt and Shipman's sprees of killing.

Solicitor Tamlin Bolton, representing families of six Letby victims, said: "He has been asked to look back at things like Shipman, Beverley Allitt, the Mid-Staffs inquiry and consider the recommendations that followed.
