A family doctor charged the Night Home Service (NHS) more than £500,000 in seven years for night visits that his patients did not need, a General Medical Council (GMC) disciplinary hearing was told yesterday. Jagdeep Gossain charged for up to 540 emergency call-outs a month, increasing his annual salary to close to £200,000 a year and using almost a third of the local health authority’s out-of-hours GP budget.
Dr. Gossain, 46, had a target list of about 100 patients in his practice in a suburb of London, whom he used repeatedly on claim forms to Ealing, Hammersmith and Hounslow Health Authority. Nearly all emergency visits conducted by the doctor, who often made up to 40 calls a night, were "clinically inappropriate". He had also duped the GMC into postponing his hearing, before the professional conduct committee, four times by claiming that his bad back made him unfit to attend, Sarah Plaschkes, for the GMC, said.
But
that injury
had not prevented him enjoying his favorite sport—weightlifting— at an exclusive gym in Heston. Ms. Plaschkes added: "The council submits that Dr. Gossain deliberately, dishonestly deceived this professional body by pretending he was too ill to attend the hearing when, in fact, he was at a leisure center."
Between May 1990 and April 1998 he claimed an "inordinate and extraordinary number" of night visits, she said. The average GP makes 50 emergency night calls a year. In September 1997 alone Dr. Gossain put in 542 claims.
He saw many patients for only a few minutes and, to cope with his night workload, he worked for only an hour in the mornings and afternoons. Ms. Plaschkes alleged that it was unjustifiable reward in the sum of about £500,000 from the public purse. Dr. Gossain’s claims escalated over the years.
In 1991 he claimed £1,000; by 1995 the sum had risen to more than £75,000, peaking in 1996 at almost £160,000. Over the seven-year period he allegedly fleeced the NHS of £514,593.
In 1998 he claimed £124,591, when the average GP in his health authority claimed £670. Dr. Gossain is accused of doing so many night visits that he "could not have provided adequate care and attention" for the patients he visited. It is also said that
his ability to provide competent daytime services "was compromised"
.
Dr. Gossain denied serious professional misconduct but, if found guilty, could be struck off the medical register. Panorama investigation found that his three children went to private schools and he drove a Mercedes with private number plates. His wife, Shashi, a pharmacist, has said that his only crime was to have been a workaholic. The hearing continues. [br] Why did the professional conduct committee delay its hearing of the case under question?
选项
A、Because the committee said it had been too busy then.
B、Because the doctor said that he had hurt his back.
C、Because the doctor was too busy with his NHS to his patients.
D、Because the committee was different on the doctor’s behavior.
答案
B
解析
根据第二段最后一句“他还欺骗了GMC。这个职业行为委员会,因他谎称他的后背受伤使他无法出席,GMC将对他的听证会延期了四次”可知,答案为B。
