Conduct Of The Chairman Of The South Glamorgan Health Authority

EDM number 503 in 1993-94, proposed by Rhodri Morgan on 01/02/1994.

That this House calls on the Secretary of State for Wales to sack the Chairman of South Glamorgan Health Authority, Ian Grist, and its General Manager, Gordon Harrhy, for their abuse of their public office in their attempt to stitch up Ian Mackie, consultant orthopaedic surgeon at the Treatment Centre at the Prince of Wales Orthopaedic Hospital, Rhydlafor, Cardiff, because he spoke out against the use of the untried and untested Zimmer replacement hip joint, by suspending him on full pay since last June and then dropping the charges against Mr Mackie on the first day of the disciplinary inquiry; believes that if the Chairman and the General Manager thought the charges were serious enough to suspend Mr Mackie, they were serious enough to be heard in full, and if they were not serious enough to be put to the test, they were too trivial to justify suspending Mr Mackie for seven months; disapproves strongly of the gagging clause signed by both sides, preventing public representatives from discovering the full truth; but believes that the collapse of the case against Ian Mackie has also caused the collapse of the public reputations of the Chairman and the General Manager, whose time is clearly now up.

This motion has been signed by a total of 33 MPs.
