    NHS chiefs right hand woman who threatened to sack whistleblower axed inquiry into 670 deaths.

    A health chief who threatened to sack a whistleblower is now under investigation for quashing a probe into high death rates at his hospital.
    Dame Barbara Hakin, who is one of the most powerful women in the NHS, has been referred to the General Medical Council for allegedly ditching an inspection at United Lincolnshire NHS trust three years ago.
    As many as 670 patients are feared to have died unnecessarily at the trust since 2009.
    Concerned that the hospital's 'target culture' was putting patients at risk, Gary Walker - who was then the trust's chief executive and has since turned whistleblower - told Dame Barbara in 2009 he was planning to get an external review of mortality rates.
