I never said anything about being more in line with Scots law. You claimed, there would be no prosecution without intent, not true. If found to be grossly careless (22 exceptionally bad failings) a criminal charge of culpable homicide is possible.

Sorry to keep dipping in/out - trying to look after my son at the same time. I don't believe intent should be a GNM requirement either. I'm unaware of that requirement applying to the rest of us & I've heard no convincing argument as to why HCPs should have different rules apply.

You can apply anything to anyone but wrong to send junior doctors to prison when there are many systems failures. If not system will never learn, we won't have good doctors left and many patients will suffer and I will emigrate gladly

I've seen nothing to suggest BG spent a single night in prison. Have you? But it's not wrong to send grossly negligent people whose actions kill another to prison. No matter who they are. Doing so does not prelude us from improving the systems too. Mutually exclusive goals for me

Suspended prison sentence is enough for a good doctors life to be ruined and injustice to thrive and junior doctors to be frightened and scared and system leaders to escape.

From the U.S. perspective, it is shocking to see a system where overwhelmed physicians and nurses with honorable intentions who have made an honest mistake are held criminally liable and incarcerated. It really makes one wonder why anyone in the U.K. goes into medical work. 1/2

Patients don't seek doctors for the doctors' honorable intentions or honesty. That's assumed.

We are not discussing why people seek doctors, we are discussing the meaning of criminal negligence and why a physician was convicted of a crime. Seems the jails would be very full if anyone who made a mistake at work could be imprisoned. Criminality assumes malicious intent.

I would like us to use the verb err rather than MAKE a mistake. I erred in these cases https://youtu.be/66YRBMVY1TY ‘Make mistake’ has implies a deliberate act of creation Also helps to write mis-take I mis-took you for someone I know

Pointless point. But yet another way to not deal with the known details of the truly exceptionally bad care in

Totally agree. The more I'm taking in this SUI report, the more the absolute lack of appropriate response/care over a prolonged period is becoming apparent. Jack's history alone should've been enough reason to refer him for specialist care/monitoring, esp with how he presented.
