Bill Cash has branded online videos and hate messages attacking Julie Bailey and Cure the NHS "despicable and unacceptable".

“I have always paid tribute to the campaigners Julie Bailey, Debbie Heseldine, Ken Lownds and others for their tremendous work as part of their Cure the NHS campaign, and whom I advised and met regularly to campaign for the public inquiry at Stafford Hospital."

“I find it despicable and unacceptable that any attacks should be made on those who have fought to put matters right for patient safety in the face of the Stafford Hospital crisis."

“It is unacceptable that online videos and abusive e-mails are being put out in this way."
