Michalak v GMC

The request was partially successful.

Dear General Medical Council,

The recent decision of the Supreme Court to dismiss the appeal of the GMC against the decision of the Court of Appeal is in the interests of fairness and respect for the rights of doctors to be treated fairly and without discrimination , malice or harassment by the GMC.

Who at the GMC authorised the decision to seek permission to appeal from the Supreme Court?

How much has the GMC spent in fighting this case at the Court of Appeal?
at the Supreme Court?

To how many courts or tribunals has the GMC made appeals against allowing the claims of Dr. Ewa Michalak in relation to alleged misconduct, harassment, discrimination and victimisation by members or employees of the GMC?

Which current or former members of the GMC have been named in the claims by Dr. Ewa Michalak?

Has the GMC reflected on its conduct in its investigation of Dr. Ewa Michalak?
What have been the key learning points?
Have they been shared with all members of staff?
Will you disclose them to us, the public as is your obligation?

Has counselling or psychological support been made available to GMC staff who may have been upset or traumatised on learning of the distress imposed upon Dr. Ewa Michalak by the alleged conduct of the GMC?

Has the GMC referred itself to the Professional Standards Authority to investigate its conduct and the allegations raised by Dr. Ewa Michalak?
