Gosport War Memorial Hospital 1990s opioid deaths scandal

The Gosport War Memorial Hospital 1990s opioid deaths scandal arose from the premature shortening of life of over 400 patients at Gosport War Memorial Hospital, Hampshire, England by use of opioid drugs and apparent failures by relevant authorities to detect the issue in a timely manner and for subsequent inadequate investigations into the issues. == History == In August 1998, following the death of Gladys Richards who had gone into Gosport War Memorial Hospital for rehab following a hip operation, her family reported concerns about her treatment to the police and to the coroner.
