A nurse who tried to blow the whistle on a scandal that saw 650 people killed with overdoses was bullied out of her job.
Sylvia Giffin, along with three colleagues, tried warning hospital chiefs in 1991 that elderly patients were dying after being given powerful painkillers.
Her daughter, Penny Wilson, said the nurse was silenced as the number of those who died rose to more than 650 over 11 years.
Ms Wilson said her mother was bullied after speaking out against the practice at Gosport War Memorial Hospital, in Hampshire. * +

Ms Giffin, who worked under disgraced doctor Jane Barton - dubbed Doctor Opiate - died after a short battle with motor neurone disease in 2003.
Dr Barton, a former GP, is believed to have left the country with husband Tim after they were visited by police.
Ms Wilson added: 'Mum never wanted to point any figures at anyone. It wasn't about any particular doctor. It was about the whole system.
'They bullied her until she gave them some names.'
Ms Giffin and her nursing colleagues began raising concerns about the administration of diamorphine and syringe drivers at Gosport War Memorial Hospital in 1991. * +

Dr Barton is also understood to have been present at the meeting.
The independent panel report said the meeting had the 'effect of silencing the nurses' concerns'.
It comes as a leading health academic said NHS staff were routinely hastening death through a lethal combination of sedatives and dehydration. * +
