The NHS welcomes back a doctor convicted of manslaughter

A doctor convicted of the manslaughter of a six-year-old boy is now fit to practise without any restrictions, a medical tribunal has ruled. Dr Hadiza Bawa-Garba was previously found guilty of gross negligence manslaughter over the death of Jack Adcock at Leicester Royal Infirmary.

She was struck off the medical register but reinstated following an appeal. She has been working under close supervision, with several conditions imposed, since November 2020. However, the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS) said the conditions should be revoked with immediate effect, after finding her fitness to practise is no longer impaired.

The NHS needs shut down.
