Alexandra Hospital neglect: Jeremy Hunt 'disgusted'
Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt has said he is "disgusted and appalled" at accounts of patient neglect at a hospital in Worcestershire.
It was claimed in one case an 84-year-old man starved to death at Redditch's Alexandra Hospital in 2009.
Worcestershire Acute NHS Hospital Trust will apologise to the families of 38 people and many will receive a payment of, on average, about £10,000.
In a statement, the trust issued an apology over its "shortcomings". Ben Ando reports.
