The former chairman and chief executive of Stafford Hospital are being referred for investigation over the hospital's death rates scandal.

Stafford Borough Council wants the Crown Prosecution Service to examine whether Martin Yeates and Toni Brisby misled its health scrutiny panel.

The panel claims 2008 rates were blamed on recording methods, not poor care.

Councillors claim the pair committed misconduct in public office by giving false information about death rates.

The motion was agreed on Tuesday as the full council met for the first time to debate a Monitor report published in February which called for the closure of some services at Stafford Hospital.

Merging services

A statement from the council said: "Stafford Borough Council agreed last night to instruct the Chief Executive to make formal complaint to the Crown Prosecution Service in that Mr Martin Yeates and Mrs Toni Brisby committed the offence of misconduct in public office by knowingly giving false and misleading evidence to the council's statutory overview and scrutiny committee."

Voting on the report from administrators, published in February, councillors also rejected proposals to close some Stafford Hospital departments, including the A&E department.

They instead supported the idea of merging services with other NHS trusts.

In addition, it was agreed a letter would be sent from the council thanking the hospital supporters who organised a march on Saturday.
