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.

Christine Dalziel, whose husband died while a patient at the hospital, spoke to the BBC about his death and the level of care he received.
