Today I have been appointed to serve on an independent panel to review all the documentary evidence into historic unexpected deaths of elderly patients at Gosport War Memorial Hospital in Hampshire.
The panel will be chaired by Bishop James Jones, the former Bishop of Liverpool, who chaired the Hillsborough Inquiry into the deaths of Liverpool football fans.
The inquiry will try to obtain all the facts behind the deaths of patients at this hospital stretching back for a large number of years.
The aim is to address the concerns of families who lost loved ones and are very unhappy about the way they were treated by the authorities.
While the investigation is under way for the next three years I have been asked to keep a vow of silence about its findings until they are made public.
This is because my prime duty is to the families who believe they have been seriously let down and I intend to devote my energies as an investigative journalist to get as near to the truth as possible.
So you will find nothing on this blog about the investigation. Any journalist hoping for leaks on information this inquiry is uncovering is also going to be very disappointed. There will be an official website outlining the scope and nature of the investigation and who sits on the panel. The link is gosportpanel.independent.gov.uk
But the only people who should know the findings in advance will be the families themselves.

avoidable deaths of elderly in hospital is a bigger scandal than the cover up of crimes against children in care

Don’t be alarmed. The appointment is part time and I will still be investigating child sexual abuse, as part of the Exaro team, and other Whitehall scandals
