answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/11/2018 answer text <p>It is a function of the General Medical Council (GMC), the independent regulator of doctors across the United Kingdom, to maintain a register of doctors in the United Kingdom. Where appropriate, it is for the GMC to investigate complaints about doctors on their register and assess whether they should be referred to the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service, who determine whether any sanction should be applied with respect to their registration.</p><p> </p><p>The GMC is currently reviewing the qualification of currently licensed doctors, who applied for registration via a route allowing graduates of medical schools in certain Commonwealth countries to obtain registration based on their qualification alone. This route to registration ceased in 2003.</p> answering member constituency Wimbledon answering member printed Stephen Hammond question first answered 27/11/2018 17:18:57 answering member 1585 label Biography information for Stephen Hammond
