The former chairman and chief executive of Stafford Hospital are being referred for investigation over the hospital's death rates scandal.

Stafford Borough Council wants the Crown Prosecution Service to examine whether Martin Yeates and Toni Brisby misled its health scrutiny panel.

The panel claims 2008 rates were blamed on recording methods, not poor care.

Councillors claim the pair committed misconduct in public office by giving false information about death rates.

The motion was agreed on Tuesday as the full council met for the first time to debate a Monitor report published in February which called for the closure of some services at Stafford Hospital.
