The request was successful.

From: William Thackeray

18 March 2010

Dear General Medical Council,

I refer to a previous FOIA query which can be found at:
http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/fi...
and to the evidence of public interest supplied for Information
Tribunal case EA/2009/0063.

1)

Of the 57 private hearings where Mr Brightmore sat on the Fitness
to Practise Panel, how many concerned psychiatrists, psychiatric
medicine, psychology or related mental health fields?

2)

Which of the public hearings concerned those fields of medicine?

Many thanks for your assistance with this matter.

Yours faithfully,

William Thackeray
