Use Of Medical Records In Court

EDM number 447 in 2006-07, proposed by John Hemming on 07/12/2006.

That this House notes the admission of Dr David Southall during General Medical Council Fitness to Practice hearings that incomplete medical records have been provided when requests were made for medical records as part of contemplated legal proceedings; further notes that unless people specifically asked for the contents of medical special case files they would not have been provided with them; appreciates that the content of these medical special case files may have had some considerable bearing upon a number of cases; and calls for a review of all cases where such evidence was kept from the court, so as to ensure that there have been no miscarriages of justice.

This motion has been signed by a total of 10 MPs.
