AN INVESTIGATION by a leading police officer into the historic deaths of hundreds of people at Gosport War Memorial Hospital will begin in September

Assistant Chief Constable Nick Downing, head of serious crime for Kent and Essex Police, will lead the review.

Families have said there is enough evidence in the report itself for the Crown Prosecution Service to take the case on and start criminal proceedings.
