The suspension of doctors in the National Health Service by health authorities, often for long periods for what appear to be trivial reasons, while inquiries into allegations are pending seems to have become an increasing problem in the United Kingdom. In some cases the hearing has been conducted years after the suspension. This situation caused the Society of Clinical Psychiatrists to establish a study group with the aim of producing a fact-finding report into what appeared to be a growing abuse of procedures. This article presents a summary of the study group's findings and the lessons to be learned from this disturbing bureaucratic phenomenon.
在英国，卫生当局对国民医疗服务体系中的医生进行停职处理，通常会因看似微不足道的原因停职很长时间，而对指控的调查仍在进行中，这似乎已成为一个日益严重的问题。在某些情况下，听证会在停职多年后才举行。这种情况促使临床精神病医生协会成立了一个研究小组，旨在就这一看似越来越严重的程序滥用问题撰写一份实情调查报告。本文概述了该研究小组的调查结果以及从这种令人不安的官僚现象中吸取的教训。
