A disturbing story
A disturbing account of deaths at an NHS hospital in Gosport. It presents concerns not only about the hospital, but about operations of the coroner's office. My own personal experience of a coroner's office in London was not good. These officials seems to be a law unto themselves.
The story does not appear to put the General Medical Council in a good light, either.

James,
Surely you can't be surprised about the GMC?
Janet Smith pointed out in the Shipman enquiry report that the GMC appeared to operate to protect medics, not to protect the public. Nothing has changed.
Yet another example of producer capture.
