Has Finlay Scott resigned? If so can we have a street party outside the GMC?
Rumour is in the corridors of power is that Finlay Scott is leaving the General Medical Council. Is he leaving voluntarily or was he pushed or is he simply hiding under his desk so that no one can spot him? We have noted that in the last 3 weeks, the General Medical Council has not been as obnoxious as usual.
We assumed matters were slightly odd when Paul Philip slithered out of his golden crypt to give an interview to the world on David Southall. In truth, the General Medical Council has been in disarray for some years. There was the expenses scandal exposed by J Colman then there were further scandals that the GMC kept quiet.
We have no idea whether the rumour of the missing chief executive is true. Perhaps, the advert at GMC towers for a new chief exec is the most telling sign that all is not well there. We postulated that they may have all caught swine flu.
Mary O Rourke QC and Ivan Hare have both hinted that there may be the existence of a top 10 hit list at the GMC. We assume this is a list of doctors faces in pictorial format that the GMC throws darts at.
