The NHS has been accused of covering up ?worrying and persistently high? death rates in Welsh hospitals and ignoring calls to investigate by England?s most senior doctor.
The disclosure on Wednesday night provoked a political row, with Labour accused of presiding over serious failures at NHS hospitals in Wales, where it has held power since devolution. Emails seen by The Telegraph show that Prof Sir Bruce Keogh, the NHS England medical director, called for an investigation three months ago.
MPs on Wednesday night raised fears that ?deeply disturbing? failings were being allowed to continue.
