The regulator for nurses and midwives is still not doing enough to protect patients properly, MPs are warning.
The Health Select Committee said a huge backlog of cases was hampering the ability of the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) to safeguard standards.
The cross-party group of MPs also highlighted the regulator's poor record of having decisions overturned on appeal.
But the NMC said it was working hard to put things right.
