Police are to investigate failures at an Essex hospital's cancer unit after reports of delayed treatment and bullying by managers.
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) carried out an unannounced inspection at Colchester General Hospital in August and September.
It discovered patient records had not been kept up to date, resulting in failures in treatment.
Chief executive Dr Gordon Coutts said: "We are very concerned by the report."
"We are truly sorry that in some cases cancer patients, their carers and families have not always received the high quality of care that they should have expected from our trust," he said.
