During a press conference involving various agency leaders, Assistant Chief Constable Mark Winstanley of Lancashire Police, who is chair of the county's Children's Safeguarding Assurance Partnership, was asked to share more details about Rudakubana's contact with mental health services within the NHS and if any assessments were done on him.
Earlier this week, the Liverpool Echo asked Alder Hey Children's Hospital Trust to clarify whether he had been seen under its Child and Adolescent Mental Health services, which work in communities around the region.
Now, it has been revealed that was under the care of the hospital's mental health services between 2019 and 2023, but stopped engaging two years ago in February 2023.
Alice da Silva Aguiar, nine, Bebe King, six, and Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, were killed in the horror attack, with harrowing details heard at Liverpool Crown Court.
