The panel also included Dr Carl Heneghan, GP and Reader in Evidence-Based Medicine, Director of the Centre of Evidence-Based Medicine, Oxford; Professor Stephen Westaby, Surgeon, John Radcliffe Hospital; and Dr Suzette Woodward, Director of Patient Safety, National Patient Safety Agency (NPSA).
The Committee covered a wide range of subjects around current regulation and repeatedly returned to recent problems with metal on metal hips as an example of issues within the regulatory and legislative systems.
