Streeting seeks ‘reassurances’ over access to records of doctors who transition

Doctors who change their gender identity are given new registrations, with no link to any previous disciplinary action against them.



Health Secretary Wes Streeting has expressed concern over the General Medical Council (GMC) allowing doctors who transition to receive new registrations and GMC numbers, which sever ties to their past disciplinary records. This change means any previous suspensions or actions are not publicly linked, raising patient safety concerns. Streeting described the situation as "extremely concerning." The GMC maintains that while they internally keep records connected, the public register does not reflect this, emphasizing the need for patients to verify their doctors' qualifications.
