Calls are being made for an inquiry into Welsh NHS care standards and death rates.

It follows allegations that an elderly patient suffered serious neglect at two Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Health Board hospitals.

Welsh Conservative leader, Andrew RT Davies, wants an inquiry like the Keogh review which has put 11 English NHS trusts in to special measures.

The health board apologised. The Welsh Government said no inquiry is needed.

BBC Wales has investigated the case of an elderly woman who was admitted to the Princess of Wales Hospital, Bridgend, and Neath Port Talbot Hospital on three separate occasions between August 2010 and November 2012, when she died.
