General Medical Council. Caught With Their Pants Down



In the days when I was actually a Raptor in relation to my attack on the General Medical Council, I caught the GMC being very naughty. Their covert investigation had been closed for two years. If we are to believe the GMC's £10,000 day barrister, he would have us believe that closed investigations warrant confidentiality. This would mean no data is leaked out of the GMC. In reality, this isn't of course the case.

At the time, I had been helping Sushant Varma of Halton Hospital following his clash with arch creepy Dean Dr David Graham. We must of course say that David Graham was found guilty of breaching the Data Protection Act several times by the Information Commissioner. David is of course a Revalidation Tsar :) and entrusted with miles of doctors data. Sushant sent me the memos he had found at Halton Hospital. Dr Gerry Murphy had been trying to create more problems at the GMC for me [damn shame he currently faces the GMC as we speak!]. The General Medical Council purposefully and creepily leaked personal data related to me to Halton Hospital. Halton Hospital wasn't a Trust I worked for, had any intention of working for or had any relationship with. I was simply assisting a friend - Sushant at the time.

The GMC commununications landed at Halton Hospital and then in my paws. The GMC initially denied any of this had happened.

They were then sent a number of emails pointing out the evidence of their " naughty" behaviour. At this point, the GMC's workers ran around like headless chickens and finally discovered that they had been caught red handed and they couldn't lie about it. The trait with the GMC is this - they are of the view that if they " lie in groups" it becomes the truth. Of course, it doesn't, it just becomes a police matter in the future.

The above letter was sent apologising to me for the " unfortunate"error. This is one of the rarest apologies any doctor has extracted out of the GMC in 150 years.

So we ask the question, how many "unfortunate errors" related to doctors data have the GMC been responsible for. It was certainly the case that earlier this year, the data for Doctor 1 was accidentally sent to Doctor 2.

This was of course yet another excuse for me to publish a picture of good looking men with nice legs :). Some things are important in life.
