Some hospitals do not share information which could identify doctors who make repeated mistakes, the BBC has found.
Several hospital trusts said they had compensated patients following repeated allegations made against a doctor, but had not referred the incidents to the General Medical Council (GMC).
Some doctors have been involved in up to six unreported incidents.
Under Department of Health guidelines trusts have a legal duty to refer concerns about doctors to the GMC.
