Gosport doctor implicated in deaths of 456 patients says she was 'doing her best for patients'

Gosport doctor implicated in deaths of 456 patients says she was 'doing her best for patients' The doctor implicated in the deaths of at least 456 patients over 12 years working at Gosport War Memorial Hospital has said she was “doing her best for patients” in a pressurised part of the NHS.

Last week a major inquiry concluded Dr Jane Barton was “responsible” for the practice of prescribing powerful and unnecessary opiates which killed as many as 650 patients between 1988 and 2000.

Dr Barton and her husband, Tim Barton, stepped out from their Gosport home on Wednesday and in a statement read by Mr Barton maintained that a lack of hospital funding had been a factor in the deaths. The Independent
