What I can say is that he has not been suspended. There are clinical protective measures that have been put in place, including as part of the consultant contract. Some of them are contained in the reports. For example, having a second surgeon involved when there is complex surgery is one of them. The surgeon is currently not doing any clinical work, but it is important to say, and I do not believe any of us in this House are guilty of it, there have been no findings made against this doctor.
