It happens all.the.time;investigations, inquest, Med Neg, civil lit. system errors have been evident in many avoidable death investigations. It should not take criminal conviction of a doctor for medics to have this level of outrage.But as it has, can it now be sorted please?

I think this is a great point John. It should be implemented that if a medical professional is caught covering/deleting/altering medical records then they should be struck off and convicted. There is no reason for it and there is only one reason it is done.

Quite. And the law would agree. I understand I t's already a criminal offence. "If the records are altered deliberately to assist in a civil claim then the doctor or nurse is committing a criminal offence - attempting to pervert the course of justice."https://www.slatergordon.co.uk/media-centre/blog/2011/03/james-bell-clinical-negligence-fabricating-medical-records/ …

This is another loophole I have stumbled across John. It can only be perverting the course of justice of criminal and not civil as in law the justice has to be criminal. In this case it may well be as gross negligence so attempt to avoid!

Hmm. That was the case for us, because it involved disguising failure to adhere to consent limits - criminal assault, not just negligence. Always thought it was a standalone offence to fraudulently amend med records too though? Maybe I'm wrong there.
