Hospitals in Wales face a shortage of qualified nurses which could compromise patient care, the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) has claimed.

It follows a report about failings at two hospitals run by Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Health.

The RCN claimed reports of poor nursing standards could damage recruitment.

Chief Nursing Officer Jean White told the BBC's Sunday Politics Wales that enough nurses are being trained.

Tight budgets
The RCN in Wales has accused the Welsh government of failing ensure there are enough training places and claim that has led to an insufficient supply of qualified staff.
