Mr Cameron said: "I can certainly give that assurance.
"It is important that we get to the bottom of any hospital having an unnaturally high mortality rate.
"It is also important that such inspections and investigations are carried out properly and that we all learn the lessons of the Mid-Staffordshire inquiry report."
