Stafford Hospital NHS trust: Hunt to decide over closure

The health secretary is due to announce whether he is accepting a recommendation to close the trust that runs Stafford Hospital.

The Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust was the focus of one of the NHS's biggest scandals when hundreds more people died than would be expected.

Administrators want Jeremy Hunt to dissolve the trust and move key services to neighbouring hospitals.
