British Medical Journal reveals GMC failings in selection of expert witnesses
Press Release: 25 July 2008
PACA is extremely concerned about the contents of an article that has been published today in the British Medical Journal [BMJ 2008; 337:a907].
It reveals how the GMC has failed to take advice concerning its selection of expert witnesses to judge the work David Southall, Martin Samuels, and Andrew Spencer.
It confirms that the GMC has been besieged by a campaign of vexatious complainants involved in child protection matters but has shown little concern for this or any apparent attempts to recognise and fairly acknowledge this campaign.
It reveals maladministration on a large scale within the GMC and also shows how the Chief Medical Officer for England became involved with the GMC’s investigation into the three doctor’s medical research work.
This article adds to the continuing concerns that PACA has for the serious effects the GMC’s actions have had on child protection work in this country.
