The £13m public inquiry looked at why regulators and external bodies failed to spot there was a problem

The public inquiry into the Stafford Hospital failings was published after one of the biggest scandals in the history of the NHS.

The inquiry sat for more than a year between 2010 and 2011, taking evidence from more than 160 witnesses over 139 days.

More than a million pages of evidence were submitted.

What did the report say?

What happened at Stafford Hospital?

What has happened to the individuals involved?

This was not the first inquiry, is it?

So how was this one different?
