"Thank you for your online complaint of 16 February 2009 about Dr Hilary Jones.

Our Fitness to Practise procedures focus on the most serious concerns, which call into question a doctor?s fitness to practise and right to retain unrestricted registration ? that is his or her right to work. In many cases, concerns about a doctor can best be considered at a local level, by the doctor?s employer.

From the information that you have provided so far, we cannot identify any issues that would enable us to conduct an investigation into Dr Jones? practice. We note your objections to the opinion that Dr Jones has expressed but it was clear in the article that he was expressing his own opinion. The article also contained the differing opinions of organisations such as NCT and La Leche League.

No action is required under our procedures for Dr Jones expressing his medical opinion."

so basically he is allowed to spout nonsense since he has said its his opinion even if that his opinion as a GP

Differing opinions of NCT and LLL? Not opinion, researched and substantiated fact! Well done for trying fled.

I complained to the broadcasting standards fellers - they are still investigating but GMTV is one of the most complained about programmes apparently.
