Staff were told to manipulate appointments at an under-fire hospital so the trust's figures would look better, an admin worker claims.

On Thursday, NHS England said it had found "serious failings" in Colchester Hospital's cancer services.

The worker said people who complained about practices were ignored.

A spokesman for the hospital said disciplinary action would be taken against anyone found to have acted improperly.

NHS England reviewed hundreds of cancer cases at Colchester Hospital after the Care Quality Commission (CQC) found staff were "pressured or bullied" to change data.
