The 46-year-old man was arrested on Thursday morning after staff at Stepping
Hill hospital noticed that the medical records of another patient had been
tampered with.
It followed the death of Bill Dickson, an 82-year-old former journalist who
died on New Year’s Eve. Officers believe Mr Dickson had his saline drip
sabotaged in July and are trying to establish whether that led to his death.
He was the fourth patient to die after his saline drip was contaminated with
insulin at the hospital. A total of 20 people are believed to have been
deliberately poisoned.
The male nurse was arrested at his home in Stockport after a female nurse on
night duty reported on Tuesday that medical records appeared to have been

administered extra doses of medicine. The doses were not fatal and the
patient has since been discharged. Read Full
