Are investigations carried out confidentially?
Yes. Information given by people making a notification, or by people asked to provide a report relating to an investigation, is treated confidentially. The Board is bound by Acts of Parliament . All complainants are asked to sign the Board’s privacy statement on the Notification Form they lodge, which relates to the collection and use of the information provided. However, to make sure its investigations are thorough and fair, the Board needs to hear from both the person making the complaint and the doctor involved. This usually involves the Board sending a copy of the notification form you have provided (and/or your letter detailing your concerns), and other relevant material, to the doctor for comment. When serious sexual or other allegations are involved, the Board can decide not to tell the doctor the name of the complainant or the detail of the concerns raised at this stage of the investigation. If this applies to your concerns, the Board will discuss the matter with you.
