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

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

Eric Morton, in his second week as interim chief executive of Stafford hospital, has given the BBC's Anthony Bartram his response to the report.
