"Health Secretary Wes Streeting has asked for “reassurances” from the General Medical Council (GMC) after it was reported that doctors who changed gender could have their disciplinary records erased.
The Daily Telegraph reported that the GMC had confirmed doctors who change their gender identity were issued with a new registration and GMC number, with no links to their previous registration on the watchdog’s public register.
This means that there would be nothing to link their new registration to any previous suspensions they served before transitioning.
However, links to previous disciplinary action are held internally by the GMC and a spokesman for the watchdog said a new registration would not allow a doctor to “circumvent investigation of concerns”.
Talk’s Alex Phillips discusses the story with New Culture Forum commentator Amy Gallagher."
@AnungIkwe Haven't seen the troon- loving BBC cover this. The Telegraph is the only MSM outlet which ran with it. Thank goodness for GB News and Talk TV.
@RadicalCartoons@AnungIkwe Five years ago the Torygraph wouldn't have run it either. It's had its head up the establishment arse for years and is only dipping its toe into these waters because it read the room and thinks there might be something in it. More likely it's fence sitting and getting some nasty splinters.
