Gosport War Memorial Hospital doctor subject to GMC conditions

Alan Jenkins acted for Dr Jane Barton, the doctor at the centre of allegations concerning patient deaths at the Gosport War Memorial Hospital during the 1990's.  The patients were treated with diamorphine administered by syringe driver in the period before death. Following a lengthy Police investigation into the deaths of 92 patients, and an inquest into the death of 10 of those patients, a Fitness to Practise Panel hearing at the General Medical Council concerning Dr Barton has just concluded.  In a decision that has sparked much controversy in the media, the panel determined that Dr Barton's registration should be subject to conditions, and declined to follow the submissions of the GMC lawyers who had said that she should be erased.
