More Baby P updates in the news today.. Lynn Featherstone MP has called for the resignation of Dr Jane Collins, chief executive of Great Ormond Street Hospital, who the BBC has said withheld information from the serious case review authors investigating the death of Baby P in 2007.
The BBC said that the hospital did not give information to authors about failings around child protection, including a lack of training of Doctor Sabah Al-Zayyat, the doctor who saw Peter just days before he died.
The BBC said that the hospital did not give information to authors about failings around child protection, including a lack of training of Doctor Sabah Al-Zayyat, the doctor who saw Peter just days before he died.
The BBC London investigation revealed that the following key findings and criticisms were left out of the SCR:
- the head of the unit Dr Sukanta Banerjee considered it a "clinically risky situation"
- the arrangements for seeing child protection cases there caused "grave concern"
- there was a "clearly unacceptable" four-month delay in Peter's appointment
- the doctor who examined Peter should not have been appointed by Gosh because she had "little experience and training in child protection"
- there were "significant concerns" in two of only four previous child protection cases she had seen there
