Almost ?500,000 was spent on additional security at Stepping Hill Hospital after the contamination of saline that is being linked to four deaths.

Chris Burke, chief executive of the Stockport hospital's trust, said the incident was "unprecedented" and the security measures were "essential".

Detectives believe 21 patients were affected when saline drips were contaminated with insulin last year.
