Hello again. Well there's some good news. I think as a matter of routine, the GDC referred my file to the Independent Safeguarding Authority for assessment as to whether I should be banned from working with vulnerable adults and children. I did not publicise this referral for obvious reasons. Well the ISA will not take action. That's the second regulatory authority which has decided that my behavior was not serious.
The GDC publish their achievement targets on their website. Apparently, they like to finish cases within nine months of referral. They also think that, for the case to come to be assessed by the Investigating Committee, a period of six months is too long and causes distress to the dentist.
Well they took more than four times nine months to deal with me. The Investigating Committee did not assess the case for fourteen months.
