Post Hearing Statements

Sentinel Newspapers

From the Doctors

"This must at last put an end to the long-standing allegations.

"No evidence was produced to show that any baby was damaged by CNEP or by poor quality of care.

"One independent expert described the conduct of the trial as outstanding. This is the third time the GMC has considered this case, and in doing so it acknowledged that our human rights have been breached due to delays.

"The issues have also been investigated by the hospital, the NHS regional office and the police. On every occasion the conclusion has been the same.

"It is our sincere hope we can now put this case behind us and concentrate on caring for patients."

Comment - The doctors failed to thank those who assisted them when no other media outlet would feature their material. This includes the reason why a new expert was obtained by General Medical Council when they had not done so for a decade or more. The Article 6 Human Rights Act arguments and case law were all provided to the doctors for their use.

From Mr and Mrs Henshall.

After yesterday's ruling, Mrs Henshall, aged 40, of Melville Court, said: "We fight on for justice after this decision. I have finally lost patience with this perverse system. The process is seriously flawed and one-sided, and has no place in the modern world.

"Despite being joint complainants with the GMC, we were not allowed to have any say over what evidence was submitted or what expertise to call in support of our allegations.

"We have tried in vain to ensure that, through proper channels, some accountability and safety awareness for infants in research, using our appalling experience, be highlighted and acknowledged.

"By its present procedures, the GMC cannot provide a mechanism for ensuring patient safety or enabling a fair and thorough investigation of parents' concern about possible serious professional misconduct"

The conclusion of this issue is that the doctors will continue to be hounded by Penny Mellor, Brian Morgan and the Henshalls.
