He said: “It is a national scandal that David Fuller was able to perpetuate his offences on NHS property over such a long period of time.
“The families of each of the victims have had a difficult enough time as it is grieving for the death of a loved one. They have then had the additional trauma on top of this of learning that their family member’s corpse was abused whilst under the care of the NHS.
“I am pleased that this compensation scheme that has been agreed recognises that payments must be made to the family members, and makes appropriate provision for psychological treatment where it is reasonably required.”
David Fuller, 68, admitted the murders and abusing corpses including kids for 12 years in Kent and Sussex mortuaries.
