Written byGail Atkinson

ZERO harm has to be the focus of care in the wake of appalling failings at Stafford Hospital says the town’s MP.

Jeremy Lefroy, pictured in London yesterday, said patients were neglected and didn’t receive the care they deserved at the hospital.

He was speaking as Robert Francis QC published his report into the regulatory bodies which failed to spot the problems in Stafford.

“Today my thoughts, and those of everyone in Stafford and across the country, are with the families and victims who suffered so terribly at Stafford Hospital.

“Zero harm and first–class care across the service must be our aim.

“In Stafford, I am determined that we have a hospital which delivers this. That is the least we can do to ensure that what patients and their loved ones will not have suf- fered in vain.”
