The Sunday Telegraph reports that a nurse provided senior managers with details of her concerns in November 2007 - 16 months before the scandal was revealed - and that her report said that doctors and nurses were being ordered to discharge people who were critically ill and to lie about how long others were waiting.
There will be a debate in parliament on Monday, which will hear demands for a public inquiry into the deaths of hundreds of patients at Mid Staffordshire Foundation Trust, where standards of care were appalling.
I recommend you read the Sunday Telegraph report. It has a wealth of detail.
