A hospital where half a dozen patients died after controversial keyhole cancer surgery has been found to be unsafe in a damning report by the health regulator, it can be revealed.
An inspection of Maidstone Hospital by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) has raised serious concerns over standards of care and patient safety at the NHS trust, which serves more than half a million people across Kent.
