Paediatrician, David Southall, will not contest application to extend the ban on his working with child abuse victims.

Banned paediatrician bows to GMC decision - Guardian

Extract:

"The paediatrician who accused the husband of solicitor Sally Clark of murdering their children will not fight moves to extend his ban on working with child abuse victims, his lawyer said today.

David Southall, 59, was forbidden from working on child protection cases for three years after he was found guilty of serious professional misconduct in 2004.

A review meeting held today at the General Medical Council (GMC) headquarters in Manchester heard the doctor would not contest an application to extend the ban for 12 months.

His lawyer, Alison Foster QC, said the doctor would "freely accept" restrictions banning him from working on child protection cases.

He was severely criticised by the GMC for contacting the authorities after watching a Channel 4 Despatches documentary about the case in April 2000.

Despite having no previous involvement with the investigation into the deaths of the couple's children, Dr Southall told police it was "beyond reasonable doubt" that Steve Clark murdered his sons, Christopher and Harry.

The doctor was branded irresponsible by the disciplinary panel which investigated the case following a complaint from Mr Clark."

I hope the GMC continues to extend its ban on this arrogant, foolish man, who has caused so much needless distress to so many people.
