Doctors who make mistakes in the care of their patients could face tougher sanctions, under plans being considered by the General Medical Council.

Under the proposals the regulator could force doctors to apologise if they have previously refused to do so.

The GMC also wants to be able to restrict practice of those who have made mistakes and since retrained, even if their work has improved.

Views of the public and specialist groups are now being sought.
