Whistleblower "encouraged" by Stafford inquiry findings

A nurse who helped expose the poor standards of care at Stafford Hospital has welcomed the inquiry findings, but says more needs to be done to help whistleblowers.

Helene Donelly told ITV News Central about the terrible standards of care she witnessed on the wards, and the bullying she received after speaking out.

After hearing the inquiry findings, she said it is up to David Cameron to make sure that whistleblowers are properly supported, so that what happened at Stafford cannot happen again.
