title: UKCC needs teeth to whistleblow.
abstract: I must respond to your report 'UKCC to press ahead with its proposals', (Nursing Standard News, July 24), on the Council's quest for greater legal powers for its Professional Conduct Committee. The Council has authority to reprimand practitioners to protect the public, but should also be responsible for supporting practitioners trying to maintain standards.
