Health secretary Wes Streeting has ordered an urgent review of vetting procedures for foreign-qualified doctors after 22 medics banned from practising overseas were cleared to treat NHS patients.

Mr Streeting said the findings of an investigation by The Times were “horrific” and “a serious failure in our medical regulatory systems that I will not tolerate”.
