Failing hospital 'caused deaths'

A hospital's "appalling" emergency care resulted in patients dying needlessly, the NHS watchdog has said.

About 400 more people died at Staffordshire General Hospital between 2005 and 2008 than would be expected, the Healthcare Commission said.

Campaigner Julie Bailey, whose mother died at the hospital, told the BBC that she will always be haunted by the things she had seen there.
