Stafford Hospital: Hiding mistakes 'should be criminal offence'

NHS staff should face prosecution if they are not open and honest about mistakes, according to a public inquiry into failings at Stafford Hospital.

Years of abuse and neglect at the hospital led to the unnecessary deaths of hundreds of patients.

The inquiry chairman, Robert Francis QC, said "fundamental change" was needed to prevent the public losing confidence in the NHS.
