They assume that we are all born yesterday and that they can " slip one under the radar" and hope that I or any doctor don't notice that they are "cherry picking" the disclosure to me. I am not in the mood for selective disclosure habits. The GMC can either play by the rule book or are likely to meet with a challenge.
I know exactly what the guidance on disclosure is within the GMC procedure. At the present time the GMC, Prof Paice and Prof Needham all think it is acceptable for all of them to have access to the full post but for me to have no access to the entire post. My suspicion is that they have asked the GMC not to disclose the post to me.
I am not responding in detail unless there is full disclosure. Any response would mean that I accept their illegal action of purposeful concealment from me.
I don't accept it and I shall challenge it as they well know. This point is extremely important in administrative law. Both sides MUST have the same documents disclosed. It is not up to the GMC to cherry pick these documents and determine what is appropriate or inappropriate.
If anyone out there would like to send me the full post, please do.
At present, the GMC have been asked for their legal justification in the omission of this post. 10 minutes following my request to them, they were out on the internet looking up " Henshall". Henshall is the leading case on the disclosure point. I am very surprised they do not know their own case law.
The GMC has also currently repeatedly failed to respond to the question regarding Dame Carol Black. They have not confirmed whether or not she disapproved of the post in question. It has been many weeks so far and both Carol Black and the GMC have remained silent. The GMC can be seen to be roosting on this question.
The jousting is afoot. Be assured, this is not going to be a walkover for Paice, Needham or Carol Black. Anything they opt to conceal will be found.
