Let me fire a warning shot across the bows shall I?

OK, a letter, written in the Lancet recently, just prior to when Southall's appeal was originally going to be heard (So predictable PACA et al) in which a certain "expert" made certain claims.

Firstly Family W that expert! Let me give you a clue shall I, child's name began with M and ended with E, your patient, MSbP CVS case, hidden medical records taken to Stoke in a file marked SC unavailable to anyone, the withholding and hiding of the contents of that child's records led to the further abuse of children in the family. Wonder what the Health Commission, MP's, OFSTED, the Safeguarding Children's Board and the DCFS investigations teams are going to have to say about what you wrote in that report. Afterall it is our civic duty to ensure that matters that have led to child abuse be shared with the relevant agencies isn't it?

Secondly you forgot that under the Heshall ruling ALL material has to be disclosed to the complainant - that includes any reports prepared for the hearing.
So whilst the GMC cannot disclose .......

Funny how what was said in public, a medical magazine, does not correspond with what was said in a sworn witness report isn't it!

So the warning shot is this, the Lancet piece and the report prepared for the GMC will be going to officials and they can deal with the issue.
