ALICE WILKIE, 81

ALICE Wilkie, an 81-year-old dementia sufferer, was admitted to Gosport in August 1 8 for ‘rehabilitation and replacement’ after treatment for a urinary tract infection at another hospital.

But she began to decline within days of arriving. The General Medical Council heard in 200 that Dr Jane Barton told her ‘it won’t be long now’ before prescribing a large dose of painkillers.

Mrs Wilkie died within 24 hours of being given powerful opiates she had never had before.

Her daughter Marilyn Jackson told the GMC hearing her mother had been given the painkillers without the family’s consent.
