Two senior nurses at the centre of the Stafford Hospital scandal, who falsified patient records to meet government targets, have been struck off.

Sharon Turner, 48, and Tracy White, 52, stood accused of ruling the A&E unit at Mid Staffordshire 'with fear' by bullying other nurses into covering-up the appalling neglect of patients.
They are the first two nurses from the trust to be struck off. Up to 1,200 patients are feared to have died there unnecessarily between 2005 and 2009.
The two nurses had faced a string of allegations, including falsifying patient A&E discharge times, instructing nurses to lie about waiting times and making insensitive remarks.
