Statement on legal representation for families of children treated by Great Ormond Street Hospital surgeon Yaser Jabbar
Clinical Negligence Solicitor Caroline Murgatroyd, who is leading the firm’s work on the case involving Yaser Jabbar, says ‘shocking details’ have been revealed following investigations by the Royal College of Surgeons (RCS).
She says reviews have outlined unacceptable assessments, examinations, clinical decision-making, and treatments of patients, with references made to children being subjected to surgeries that the RCS review panel could see no justification for and with children undergoing procedures which brought no clear benefits.
