A LONG-awaited report into a series of suspicious deaths at a hospital is due to be published.
The Gosport Independent Panel will present the findings of its investigation, first launched in 2014, on Wednesday.

The inquiry was established to address concerns about the deaths of a number of elderly patients at Gosport War Memorial Hospital in Hampshire between 1988 and 2000.
It has been led by the former bishop of Liverpool, the Rt Rev James Jones, who previously chaired the Hillsborough Independent Panel.
A separate review into deaths at the hospital, led by Professor Richard Baker, found "almost routine use of opiates" for elderly patients had "almost certainly shortened the lives of some".
It could not be published in full until 2013, 10 years after it was completed, while inquests were held and due to a police investigation.
The Gosport Independent Panel will address continued concerns raised by families about the initial care of their relatives at the hospital and the subsequent investigations into their deaths.
