Prof Southall to have previous cases reviewed

Extract:

"Prof Southall is currently facing a hearing before a General Medical Council fitness-to-practise panel on a separate matter.

He is alleged to have kept about 4,450 “special” case files on children which were not stored on the child’s proper hospital file.

Lord Goldsmith’s spokesman said there were concerns that proper disclosure of medical records may not have been made in cases that led to a prosecution.. "

This is good to hear. Far too often crucial medical records get removed or are 'lost' when doctors are at fault and I have yet to hear of any sanctions being taken against this practice.
