Report of the Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust public inquiry

This report is the result of a public inquiry into the commissioning, supervisory and regulatory bodies in the monitoring of Mid Staffordshire hospital between January 2005 and March 2009. Following the earlier NHS inquiry in 2010, this report considers why the serious problems at the trust were not identified and acted on sooner, and identifies important lessons to be learnt for the future of patient care. It makes 290 recommendations designed to change the culture of care in the NHS; strengthen leadership; and improve openness and transparency.
