Stories of our times podcast: The scandal that shook the NHS (6 February 2023)

Summary

Ten years ago today, a public inquiry concluded that patients were subject to shocking levels of neglect at Stafford Hospital - putting it among the worst care scandals in NHS history. A young local reporter, Shaun Lintern – now The Sunday Times' health editor – helped expose the scandal. With the NHS again under huge pressure, can we be sure the same failings won't happen again? In this podcast, part of the Stories of our Times podcast series, Shaun speaks to the barrister who chaired the inquiry.
