THE NHS in Wales is putting patients at unnecessary risk by not implementing vital safety alerts according to a leading patients' safety charity.

Action Against Medical Accidents says that despite significant improvements in the past year, all seven Welsh health boards are missing deadlines.

The alerts introduce procedures to minimise risks to patients whose treatment has repeatedly gone wrong.

The charity had particular concerns about two health boards.
