Labour ministers ?suppressed? warnings about hospitals blamed for causing thousands of needless deaths, a senior Government adviser said yesterday.
In a devastating intervention, Professor Sir Brian Jarman said previous health ministers had presided over a ?denial machine? designed to prevent criticism of the NHS.

A report by the NHS?s medical director, Sir Bruce Keogh, tomorrow will detail a shocking catalogue of failure at 14 hospital trusts held responsible for up to 13,000 ?excess deaths? since 2005.

Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt is expected to place at least 10 of the hospitals in ?special measures? immediately, with NHS troubleshooters parachuted in to take over what are described as ?failing regimes?.
