Tomorrow marks 10 years since the Mid Staffs public inquiry report was published.

I asked Sir Robert Francis KC to sit down with me to discuss the NHS today and his reflections a decade on from his report... #MidStaffs 🧵 1/5

But is the NHS culture better than #MidStaffs era now? 2/5

His biggest concern is for the way NHS staff are being treated and the effect on patients #MidStaffs 3/5

Francis says he still believes the voice of nursing is weak and he thinks regulation of managers is needed #MidStaffs 4/5

Finally, I asked Francis about the tsunami of anger he warned could overwhelm the NHS. He says public anger will come as the crisis deepens but it will be politicians who will feel the brunt of it #MidStaffs 5/5
