The regulator for midwives and nurses is making "fragile" progress towards improving how it runs, MPs have said.
The House of Commons Health Committee criticised the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) for the length of time it takes to conclude its fitness to practise cases into misconduct by nurses and midwives.
And it said the regulator must raise awareness among staff of how they should speak up about concerns in the wake of the inquiry into the Mid Staffordshire scandal.
The NMC has pledged to resolve misconduct cases within 15 months, something that was welcomed by the MPs.
