Re: Every doctor has a duty to report suspected child abuse or neglect, says GMC
The General Medical Council's new guidance "Protecting children and young people: the responsibilities of all doctors" was published this week, and sent to it's 230,000 members. This guidance does not come into effect until 3rd September 2012. To me it's not entirely clear why the GMC felt compelled to send this out by first class postage, at an additional cost of around £23,000. Perhaps there's still room for further cuts in the GMC subscription?
