The chairman of the report into "failings" at Stafford Hospital is to meet families of some of the victims who died.

Robert Francis QC will be in Stafford later today to meet with relatives.

Yesterday's public inquiry report highlighted the "appalling suffering" of patients at the hospital between 2005 and 2009.

Following the publication of the Francis Report yesterday which highlighted the "unnecessary suffering" of patients at Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust, NHS chief Sir David Nicholson remains in his role today.

Victims' families have called for him to step down over the Stafford Hospital scandal, despite Sir David saying he is "not ashamed" of being in his job.

For years, relatives of patients who died at Stafford Hospital have been speaking out about the appalling standards of care they received.

Patients were at their most vulnerable and in need of special attention. They were also deprived of basics, including food, water and medicine.

Our correspondent Keith Wilkinson has been listening to the heartbreaking stories of the victims of Stafford Hospital.

In the scathing report Robert Francis QC attacked local health authorities and the trust board but he refused to blame any individual for failures at the trust.

However, the families of victims are calling for "accountability" and for the NHS Commissioning Board chief executive Sir David Nicholson to resign over the scandal.

Julie Bailey, the founder of the Cure the NHS campaign, has called for the Chief Executive of the NHS, Sir David Nicholson, to resign following the report into "failings" at Stafford Hospital.

Julie Bailey started the campaign group Cure the NHS after witnessing the poor treatment of her mother, Bella Bailey, and other patients on her ward at Stafford Hospital.

She told ITV News' Rupert Evelyn that her family kept a 24-hour vigil around her mother's bed because they were too scared to leave her.

It is being described as 'the darkest day in the history of the NHS', as today the long-awaited report into failings at Stafford hospital is finally published.

Eighty-six-year-old Joyce Williams was one of the victims at Stafford hospital, her daughter Castell spoke to ITV Daybreak, who said that her mother was not properly treated whilst in hospital care.

She added that she did not know at the time it was due to neglect of care.
