Opiate naive - not on end of life care- never taken as much as a paracetamol and the family completely unaware. Mumsy was in transition to come home after discharged from the QA for a UTI. Just think about the enormity of that for a moment; that is the reason why we are still here #victimsofgosport the biggest coverup in the history of the NHS alongside the contaminated blood scandal.

Thank you, Amanda. I stand strong with you, as always.💙
This is Mum’s last letter, written in her own hand shortly before they killed her. During the time her much loved son-in-law David was fighting for his life in another hospital. She never knew he made it through just like she predicted.
She wrote: “I feel lost without you all—but never mind, the important thing to me is that you are all alright, nothing else.”
Mum was there still thinking of us, while we were living through the most traumatic time of our lives and they took her from us— but then covered up when we started questioning it followed all the way up to the CMO and Allen Milburn..
Barton claimed she had endstage dementia/endstage renal failure, but cancelled mum’s regular appointment on the 11 November with her nephrologist unbeknownst to anyone..then antipsychotic drugs thioridazine and trimethoprim began all without justification.
Operation Magenta requested I prove Mumsy wrote the cards and letter they probably couldn’t believe that she was wrote it from the hospital describing her room to us. I sent them examples of her handwriting from years of cards and letters to us and our children.

The power of mighty civil servants are not visible in decision which lies in deciding which questions are answered, which are ignored, and what enters the official record. It takes years to see who pulls the strings.
Families are left to keep asking—while the account of their loved one remains uncorrected, the manipulation and damn right lies is inconceivable. #VictimsOfGosport

More revelations #VictimsOfGosport @Amanda_M_Hunter @EoLWatch @CompassnInCare @ArturNadol7566
Deep in the Department of Health archives a document uncovered from May 1996 revealing a Trust-wide Health and Safety Committee involving NINE health and safety chairs, a Risk Adviser, a Safety Coordinator, senior management and representatives from Gosport War Memorial Hospital.
Among the matters being addressed was DRUG ADMINISTRATION.
The Health and Safety Executive was scheduled to visit the Trust in June 1996.
So where are the HSE inspection records? Why are they not available in the Gosport Independent Panel archives?
HSE has acknowledged that it may hold relevant documents, in August 2025 yet we are still fighting for their disclosure under Freedom of Information public interest test as they should have been released to the GIP panel 4-year multimillion inquiry? The document uncovered has come from the department of health who controlled this inquiry.
Inexplicably the Information Commissioner’s Office has granted the HSE further time because of an alleged IT disruption, with the possibility of further delays after the 10 November?
Nurses raised concerns 1989 re Gosport’s drug regime years before this meeting. The subsequent CHI investigation exposed serious prescribing concerns as did Prof Baker report.
Eight years after the Gosport Independent Panel reported, families still uncovering evidence, fighting for documents that should have been released and examined long ago.
The ICO must do its job. The HSE must account for its records. Families deserve answers and evidence that those responsible for protecting vulnerable patients did not fail the people who entered Gosport War Memorial or the families who entrusted their loved ones to its care. 1989-2001

August 2025 I requested HSE documents relating to Gosport under the Freedom of Information Act. HSE said it may hold documents missing from the Gosport Independent Panel archives, but refused to release them.
My request after they refused an internal review it took the ICO’s case dates from October 2025 but it was not until October 2026 that the ICO asked HSE to respond.
The ICO said yesterday an IT disruption is preventing HSE from responding and has given it 10 more working days: until 10 November under IC-477675-M9T1 and 12 November under IC-581424-H7H6. And if HSE’s systems are still down, it may ask for more time, which the ICO may allow.
How long can this go on? These documents should have been released to the Gosport Independent Panel. If HSE supplied them, why were they left out of the report or archives? Was that the Department of Health’s decision?
This Panel was presented to the families as the cheapest and fastest way to get to the truth they wanted a Art 2 public inquiry to which there has never been over hundreds of deaths Yet eight years aft DH Report, families still waiting for Operation Magenta to charge someone 🤔

#Gosport scandal concerns hundreds of patient deaths. 1989-2021 HSE did not itself investigate them.
We have submitted lengthy submissions following complaints through HSE’s Tier 2 & Tier 3 process.
Deputy Director, Alan Craddock, wrote on 2 September 2025:
“I appreciate that this may not be the reply you seek, but I do need to ensure that our limited resources are effectively used, and where they can, achieve the greatest impact and the police have a very significant investigation under way.”
It is deeply disturbing to see HSE cite “limited resources” when it had not conducted its own investigation into the circumstances surrounding hundreds of deaths at Gosport and not imbedded in this 5th Police Investigation. HSE has also refused FOI requests having discovered they hold documents not released to the Gosport Independent Panel—or, if shared with the Panel, not released into the public domain. What are they hiding?
What a journey they have put us on to obtain justice for our Mumsy, only for us to find ourselves back where we began in 2000. #Gosport

Professor Baker Report was completed in October 2003 but not placed in the public domain until 2 August 2013—almost ten years later.
Its findings were deeply disturbing. Of the 81 Gosport patients sampled, 76 had received an opiate before death and 72 had received diamorphine. Opiates were used across a wide range of conditions, frequently prescribed in advance and, in some cases, administered without evidence of a careful assessment or the recognised stepped approach to pain relief.
Professor Baker concluded that an “almost routine use of opiates before death” had developed at Gosport and that this practice had “almost certainly” shortened the lives of some patients. He recommended that investigations into individual deaths should continue because his findings reinforced concerns about what may have occurred.
Families were left without this crucial report for almost a decade. Why was evidence of such gravity kept from those whose relatives had died?
Baker also recommended obtaining the working rota of Dr Barton and her GP partners to examine patterns of death more closely. Yet no resulting rota analysis, or full practice-level investigation at Forton Medical Centre has ever been disclosed.
Why was this crucial line of investigation not pursued, and who decided it should go no further?

Hello Barbara 💕
Your husband is one of those cases that will always remain firmly in my mind it is so disturbing, moreover before your family could come to terms with what had occurred they were requesting body parts.
The woman who administered the injection in front of you disappears without trace. It’s a horror story in a place of safety #euthanasia

#VictimsOfGosport Rendered comatose by powerful drugs and denied fluids, they were left entirely defenceless, while their families were told their deaths were natural and inevitable.
The whistleblowers silenced in 1990 families still waiting Justice not another Judaical process …
Brilliant speech from #JulieMinns her dying mother was denied fluids, the reality for far too many people. Where is the choice in denying people fluids and all the distress that dehydration causes? #AssistedDyingBill #AssistedSuicide

Hello Mel, Thoughts with you sending our love and strength 🕊️#VictimsOfGosport #Gosport
This sounds so familiar “whether urgent recommendations are needed on observations”
When Gosport Independent Panel report was finally published in June 2018, it came with a vast online archives thousands of documents, more than a million pages in total. The material was riddled with duplicates, chaotically indexed, and scattered across folders so disordered making it almost impossible to navigate, if you didn’t know who to search. The so-called “transparency” was overwhelming in its opacity: a blizzard of paper that buried the coverup and crucial evidence under sheer volume.
They had a plan; shame on those who sat on that panel.
This 8-year 5th Police investigation remains on that road creating paperwork while 100’s letters for answers sighting the evidence is coming from us… It’s becoming intolerable.
Today, the Lampard Inquiry begins hearings to consider whether urgent recommendations are needed on observations, monitoring technology, emergency response and resuscitation in mental health hospitals.
Behind those words are people who should have come home. My son Matthew is one of them.
Nearly fourteen years after his death, I am still fighting to establish the truth about his care, how he was found and what happened when he needed help.
For families like mine, these hearings concern the most basic promises of hospital care: that someone will check on your loved one, recognise when something is wrong, call for help and know what to do.
Technology cannot replace listening, compassion or properly trained staff. An alarm only protects someone if it brings a timely response.
I want these hearings to lead to clear, enforceable action—with named responsibility and checks that changes actually happen.
Families have already paid the highest price. Patients in hospital today cannot wait years for safety.
Matthew was loved. He had a life ahead of him. His death must lead to more than another report and another promise.
I will keep fighting for truth, accountability and care that protects people.

They may all still be locked together within the political entanglement that has surrounded Gosport since families engaged 1998-2026, each institution bound to the decisions and failures of those that came before it with 100’s dead.
But we are no longer intimidated by that web of officialdom. If anything, every unanswered question, every withheld document and every attempt to ignore and pass responsibility elsewhere has strengthened our resolve.
We will keep pulling at those threads until the truth is finally told to this family. We have provided a mass of evidence from every angle. This letter from the CPS in 2011 is gaslighting and not true; written when we challenged the enormous amount of evidence they withheld refusing to engage. Mum’s case was to go first to the CPS as a “pre-read” — an advance case for prosecutors to examine while the remaining three priority cases were completed after. @bee_devine @VictimsOfGospo1 Victims Right Review (VVR) is this what one can expect from our justice system?

And when 100’s are killed without their consent, outside any #euthanasia framework, those responsible are protected, it is already too late: they are gone in a blink.

There has also been no accountabilty for those who died at #Gosport which also speaks volumes about the attitude towards these kinds of practices, they are accepted with complacency and thats why #AssistedSuicide is so dangerous.⚠️❌📢

WHISTLEBLOWER CAUGHT THE FRAUD, THE NHS CAUGHT AMNESIA
Sharmila Chowdhury @sharmilaxx gave the NHS 30 years of clean service. Not one blemish. Then she did something apparently unforgivable.
She noticed two consultant radiologists at Ealing Hospital, run by London North West University Healthcare NHS Trust @LNWH_NHS, billing the NHS for shifts they were actually spending at a private hospital down the road.
Getting paid twice for the same hours is fraud everywhere on earth.
Everywhere except, apparently, inside an NHS complaints process.
She reported it.
To her line manager.
To the Medical Director.
To the HR Director.
To Counter Fraud.
To the Chief Executive.
To Number 10.
To the Treasury.
She built a paper trail so solid that ITV @itvnews later sent an undercover team into the same hospital years on and filmed the same consultants still taking cash from patients for private ultrasounds on NHS premises.
The Trust's response to all that diligence was to sack her, based on counter allegations later shown to be fabricated.
The man behind those allegations reportedly signed off an email too crude to print here.
He picked up a Top Mentor award from the Trust that same year. Nobody writes comedy this good on purpose.
Sharmila took it to tribunal and won. Won the appeal too.
A judge ordered the Trust to reinstate her. The Trust said no. She was then quietly blacklisted across the NHS.
One job offer was withdrawn the moment they worked out who she was. Legal costs hit £130,000.
Somewhere in the middle of it she developed breast and lung cancer, which her doctors link to years of sustained stress.
The two consultants kept their jobs.
George Osborne could not get involved.
Andrew Lansley could not get involved.
David Cameron could not get involved.
Every one of them filed it under employment matter, Whitehall for we would rather not know.
A proven fraud case, covered by ITV @itvnews, the Guardian, Daily Mail @DailyMail, Channel 4 News @Channel4News, the Independent @Independent, BBC News @BBCNews, the Times @thetimes and the Daily Mirror @DailyMirror.
The official position of Her Majesty's Government was still not our problem.
This is the reward system.
Report fraud, lose your career, lose your health, and watch the people you reported get promoted.

Further @Jeremy_Hunt the @CPSUK didn’t go down the @H_S_E route because as this CPS note records
Paul Close (CPS) Rob Dryborough-Smith (DPP) head of our justice system 2004 advised Hampshire police to concentrate on Barton. The signed protocol ignored.
“I thought it appropriate that the police concentrated on their primary objective of establishing potential case against Dr B. If no culpability by her then hard to see how any corporate liability would arise. In any event corporate liability in this case would logically only arise by way of corporate omission (as opposed to commission) through, for example, failing to provide a proper and safe system of work, by closing their eyes to the obvious when they knew, or ought to have known, that all was not right. It may be they were on notice about real problems as a result of the ‘secret’ report prepared in 1990.”
Your £M21+ inquiry promised answers least of closure
Eight years later and another £M40+ families still uncovering evidence and how corporate liability was pushed aside and why the HSE was never brought in. That is a national disgrace.
