Relatives call for a criminal investigation as an inquest rules that three out of 10 elderly patients who died at a Hampshire hospital were given inappropriate medication.

They were among five patients who were all found to have been given too much morphine during their treatment in a ward that became known as the "end of the line", at Gosport War Memorial Hospital.

Despite a series of police and NHS inquiries into almost 100 deaths at the hospital during the 1990's no one has ever been prosecuted.
