Abstract

The regulation of the medical profession has recently been the subject of considerable debate. This paper describes a survey of the views of Trust medical directors and health authority directors of public health in the Northern and Yorkshire region on the way the GMC operates. A total of 46 out of 50 (92 per cent) gave a substantive response to the survey, of whom 16 (35 per cent) had not had cause to contact the GMC during the previous year, nine (20 per cent) were happy with their contact with the GMC and 21 (46 per cent) expressed some concern. The most commonly cited causes for concern were the length of time taken to process a complaint and lack of communication. While the individual opinions expressed are entirely subjective, it is argued that collectively they identify issues which the GMC and executive directors need to address.
