OHPA response to GMC consultation

25th May, 2011

OHPA has responded to the GMC consultation paper, Reform of the fitness to practise procedures at the GMC: The future of adjudication and the establishment of the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service.  While welcoming many of the proposals – which owe much to OHPA’s own work on these matters – OHPA suggests that the governance arrangements for the new MPDS may need re-visiting and offers views on other aspects of the GMC’s plans.

A copy of the OHPA response is available here.
