Schedule 7 - The Council for the Regulation of Health Care Professionals
NHS Reform and Health Care Professions Bill
11:45 am
Dr Andrew Murrison (Westbury, Conservative)
Does my hon. Friend sympathise with the notion that given that much of the council's business will be connected with the medical profession—because doctors tend to be in the frame when it comes to disciplinary action—it is reasonable that there should be weighting towards the General Medical Council, given that we do not expect the Health Professions Council to throw up a great deal in terms of disciplinary action on issues that are in the public eye, such as the Bristol royal infirmary and Shipman cases?
