For a 12-year period, Dr Jane Barton was responsible for the culture which prevailed on the wards in Gosport Hospital where hundreds of patients died after being given doses of morphine and diamorphine 'without medical justification'.
Nobody has ever been prosecuted over the scandal and Dr Barton was allowed to continue practicing as a doctor until she retired.
The DPP judged there was not enough evidence to warrant prosecution in 2002. Barton issued 800 death certificates over the 12 years.
This could be bigger than Shipman and involves nurses who gave the prescribed doses and pharmacists who supplied them.
