Scandal-hit nursing regulator accused of covering up critical internal review
Fresh calls have been made for a parliamentary inquiry into the Nursing and Midwifery Council – which is responsible for overseeing nearly 800,000 nurses, midwives and nursing associates in the UK – after it refused to publish the results of an internal review highlighting new failures to protect the public.
Senior staff at the NMC carried out an investigation this year into how the regulator had handled dozens of serious allegations against nurses and midwives after whistleblowers raised concerns last year.
