U.K. law firms are seeking claimants who say they were “unnecessarily harmed” by a gynecologist at the Royal Derby Hospital.
As of December 2020, University Hospitals of Derby and Burton National Health Service (NHS) Foundation Trust had contacted nearly 400 women treated by Dr. Daniel Hay, who is under investigation, according to the BBC.
Royal Derby Hospital staff first raised concerns about Hay in late 2018, the BBC reported.
A number of women already have come forward, claiming they suffered problems and complications following surgeries performed by Hay, according to the Derbyshire Telegraph.
The women claim they suffered unnecessary pain, abnormal and uncontrolled bleeding, abdominal pain, mental health issues, wound infections, and temporary paralysis, among other things, the Telegraph reported.
An initial review found eight lapses of care out of 58 cases, the BBC reported. Hay and the trust apologized for those incidents.
Another review looked at another 135 cases in which the women had undergone surgery. Then in September, the trust contacted another 79 women who’d received intermediate care.
In December, the trust said an additional 110 women had been contacted, according to the BBC. These women all were outpatients at Ripley Hospital between April 2017 and July 2018.
“We have widened the review to a specific outpatient clinic… to understand the care being provided there,” executive medical director Dr. Magnus Harrison told the BBC. “We are doing this proactively, rather than in response to any specific concerns, so that the review is as thorough as possible. Each of the women have been informed that there are no concerns regarding their current health.”
Hay no longer works at Royal Derby Hospital, according to the BBC.
The General Medical Council (GMC) is investigating Hay, according to the Derbyshire Telegraph. The council determines who is qualified to be a doctor.
At an independent hearing, the GMC imposed restrictions to Hay’s medical licence, including a requirement that he be “directly supervised” at his posts if he returned to work, the Telegraph reported.
If the GMC brings the case to the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service, a full tribunal will be held, according to the Telegraph.
Such a tribunal could strip Hay of his license; alternatively, he could be suspended, be put under further restrictions, or be cleared.
