The determination by the GMC panel following the recent hearing which considered the sanction placed on Dr Southall’s practice at the 2004 hearing into his fitness to practice.
Some years ago David Southall watched a TV programme which led to him speaking confidentially to the police about his concerns over the imprisonment of Sally Clark and the safety of the third child.
In 2004 he was found guilty of serious professional misconduct, and was banned from carrying out clinical child protection work. At this hearing the renewal was opposed by Dr Southall and the sanction duly lifted after further witnesses were heard and supported of Dr Southall’s actions.
PACA and others will provide balance to some of the biased media reporting that has been the norm throughout this sorry saga. PACA will have information to provide.
