Dear Steve
Your Information Request - F15/7056/SH
Thank you for your email below of 6 May 2015 asking for information about
voluntary undertakings.
I apologise for a delay but I now have considered your request under the
Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA).
You asked for the number of requests made to the GMC for voluntary
undertakings.
I want to clarify that the GMC offers doctors undertakings, rather than
doctors requesting them from us. Following tables provides a yearly
breakdown of offers made to the number of doctors for undertakings. Not
all of these offers will have been accepted:

|---------------------------+-------------|
| 2006| 44|
|---------------------------+-------------|
| 2007| 41|

| 2008| 110|
|---------------------------+-------------|
| 2009| 96|
|---------------------------+-------------|
| 2010| 103|

| 2011| 147|

| 2013| 170|
