LETTER Re: Dr Myhill, Fitness to Practise Hearing (Case Reference: PB/C1-314994282) - 10 April 2010

PERMISSION TO FORWARD, USE IN NEWSLETTERS AND RE POST ON FACEBOOK PAGES

Dear Mr Bridge,

I know you will receive many letters in support of Dr Myhill, now

facing a summons to attend a second Fitness to Practice Hearing (Case

Reference: PB/C1-314994282), particularly from her patients who fear that,

if she were to lose her licence to practise, they would be left in isolation

without care from anyone else.

My concern is for the matter of justice in this case. I presume that the GMC

has taken legal advice before deciding, on the basis of an unsubstantiated

anonymous complaint about Dr Myhill's website, that “there is a potential

risk to public safety”? This seems an aberration of the principle of justice

enshrined in English law of innocence until proved guilty.

May I ask: are you proceeding solely, or principally, on the basis of

uncorroborated allegations of one anonymous man? I ask because the

opportunity for mischief making and even spite or malevolence seems obvious.

Especially if your replies are in the affirmative, I shall be lobbying my MP

for an urgent review of these principles in law and looking at the

comparative positions in Europe and beyond.

Whatever the outcome of this enquiry, shall we learn the identity of this

complainant; if not, why not and, if it turns out that he has committed some

offence or wasted the time of the Council, will you prosecute him with the

same vigour as you have Dr Myhill?

Yours sincerely
