Lindsay Tribunal Report: Motion.
The fifth recommendation relates to the area of medical records and specifically states: "Medical records should be kept and maintained in a more satisfactory manner." Clearly, the tribunal had found it to be unsatisfactory during the period under scrutiny. The tribunal noted that during the course of its work it was "struck by the unsatisfactory and incomplete nature of the medical records which were available in regard to particular patients." Obviously, this is an area which has to be addressed and we have initiated discussions with treating consultants on the matter.
