Summary

Chaired by Robert Francis QC, this Inquiry was set up to examine the commissioning, supervisory and regulatory organisations in relation to their monitoring role at Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust between January 2005 and March 2009. The Inquiry looked at why the serious problems at the Trust were not identified and acted on sooner, to identify important lessons to be learnt for the future of patient care.
