Dear Mr Bell,

Thank you for your email of 26 January 2018. I’ve considered your request
under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

Since 2004 neither the Chair of the GMC nor Council Members has played any
role in individual decisions around fitness to practice investigations, or
whether to appeal against tribunal decisions. As reported by the Health
Service Journal on 6 February 2018, it was our Chief Executive who made
the decision to appeal the determination reached by the Medical
Practitioners Tribunal in June 2017 with regards to the case of Dr Hadiza
Bawa-Garba.

Accordingly, we do not hold any Council meeting minutes which relates to
your query.

I hope you find this information useful. If you have any queries about
this, or need anything further, please contact me on the details below.

Yours sincerely

Simon Willis

Information Access Officer

Resources & Quality Assurance Directorate
