The family of a man who died eight years ago at scandal-hit Stafford Hospital have finally had an apology from Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt. Mr Hunt has also offered to meet relatives of John Moore-Robinson to discuss their concerns after an inquest found a “continuous series of shortcomings” contributed to his death. John’s family – who have campaigned with the Sunday Mirror for a safer NHS since his death in April 2006 – sent a copy of the coroner’s report to the Health Secretary demanding that medical staff responsible for his death are held to account. He replied: “I am sorry for your loss, for the failings of the NHS and that the system let you down so badly when you sought answers and redress.”
