How is diamorphine stronger than morphine sulphate?

Diamorphine is not actually stronger than morphine per se, but it does act a lot quicker than morphine. Diamorphine is converted into morphine in the body and although diamorphine and morphine are almost identical, doses of them are not therapeutically equivalent. For example, 30mg of diamorphine is the same as 45mg of morphine. So maybe diamorphine can be thought of as being stronger than morphine, as it takes 1/3 less to give the same effect. Also the quicker onset of diamorphine can give the impression of it being stronger.

During an Acute MI (Myocardial Infarction), the heart muscle has a reduced oxygen supply and dies. This is very painful, so Diamorphine is often given for analgesia (pain relief).
