Letby was found guilty of murdering seven babies and attempting to murder six others at the Countess of Chester Hospital between 2015-16, following a 10-month trial.
An independent inquiry was ordered on Friday after the nurse's conviction for the crimes at a hospital in Chester.
She was found not guilty on two attempted murders and the jury could not reach verdicts on six others. She will be sentenced on Monday.
Separately an inquiry will now look into the circumstances surrounding the events leading up to the murders and attempted murders of the babies by the neonatal nurse.
The announcement of the non-statutory inquiry has divided opinion on how effective it will be in examining the case.
Slater and Gordon, the law firm representing two of the families, said a non-statutory inquiry "is not good enough" and lessons had to be learned by the hospital, NHS and wider medical profession.
"As a non-statutory inquiry, it does not have the power to compel witnesses to provide evidence or production of documents and must rely on the goodwill of those involved to share their testimony," the firm said in a statement.
