DOCTORS

Tackling Concerns Nationally: establishing the Office of the Health Professions Adjudicator (20th March 2009)
This report makes recommendations to Ministers on the establishment of an independent body to adjudicate (i.e., to judge and make final decisions) on medical fitness to practise cases brought before the General Medical Council (GMC). An independent adjudicator is being established because the Government believes that the final decision making body in medical fitness to practise cases should be independent of both the GMC and of the doctor in question to ensure absolute fairness.
