GMC Decision

As parents of children involved in the organ retenetion scandal that has hit the UK, and the rest of the world, it seems the most upsetting piece of news, as I am sure you will all agree, is the recently published ... General Medical Council (GMC) Decision.

As parents who are involved, we are all just as shocked and devastated as everyone else at the recent disclosure by the GMC of their decision to clear virtually all of the doctors that had been named in the Redfern Inquiry Report.

A copy of the letter announcing their decision was sent out to all of our members as soon as we received it. Since then we have learnt the names of the eleven doctors who had been considered by the GMC's Preliminary Proceedings Committee and a copy of the list was sent out to all of our members last week along with a letter briefly explaining the situation. Everyone should have received this, but if for some reason you have not received it, please ring the office and we will send you another copy.

One of our parents has applied for a Judicial Review of the GMC's decision and of their decision making process. It will be a few weeks before they will know the outcome of their application. The parent involved will keep us informed of progress and of course we will continue to try getting answers and information for you.

HELP US HELP YOU

For those of you who have written letters of complaint to the GMC about individual doctors
OR if you have written about the recent decision as outlined above to the GMC or other parties. We would be grateful if you would let us have copies of all of your letters so that we can build up a file.

Please send them to the office as they may be useful in the future.
For more details please contact the office or a committee member.
