A call for accountability for MTAS and MMC

Unfinished BusinessIn a letter in The Lancet written by members of Remedy and its supporters commenting on the introduction of MMC and MTAS we wrote that:-
We ... believe that the small elite group of senior doctors who led this project and who failed to heed these warnings when they were in a position to do so should now consider their future positions in the management of the National Health Service. The General Medical Council (GMC) has issued clear guidelines for doctors who take up management roles, and it has taken action in the past against doctors who have failed to maintain public confidence in the profession or to uphold standards in non-clinical roles. The intervention of the GMC might be necessary if we are to restore public confidence in the accountability of medicine.

We are seeking 500 supporters who agree with this proposal. For more details click here.
