The General Medical Council (GMC) has been at the centre of controversy for not releasing raw data from its public consultation on the regulation of Physician Associates (PAs) and Anaesthesia Associates (AAs). This lack of transparency has raised concerns among the public and professionals alike about the GMC's commitment to openness and accountability. To address this, we encourage you to exercise your right under data protection laws by submitting a Subject Access Request (SAR) to the GMC. This action will help in manually collecting responses and potentially shedding light on the consultation's outcomes.
Why submit a SAR?
Transparency: Ensure that the GMC adheres to principles of openness by releasing data that rightfully belongs to the public domain.
Accountability: Hold the GMC accountable for its regulatory decisions which impact healthcare standards and patient safety.
Public Interest: Contribute to a broader understanding of how decisions affecting medical professions are made.
How to use this form:
