Authority urges tightening of system that allowed killings

Article Abstract:

West Pennine Health Authority has responded to the case of GP Harold Shipman, who has been convicted of murdering 15 elderly female patients, by recommending that the General Medical Council should automatically inform every health authority about GPs who have been found to have illegally stocked drugs, as Shipman had. This is one of several recommendations intended to increase the accountability of GPs, particularly sole practitioners. The authority claims that it was not made aware of Shipman's offence.
