"Firstly, and most importantly, I want to once again offer my personal, sincere apologies to you and your family. We have had many conversations with patients and families, and we know nothing we can do can make up for the experiences you have had and the impact it has had on you."
"I understand that the review process itself may have added further to your distress and I am also sorry for this. I hope that by sharing our findings with you in a comprehensive way, and by being clear about the actions we have taken, we can begin to rebuild the trust we know has been broken."
Families whose children suffered harm under orthopaedic surgeon Yaser Jabbar at Great Ormond Street Hospital received a written apology and an invitation to contact police ahead of findings due on 29 January. A review examined 789 children treated at GOSH, Chelsea and Westminster and three private London hospitals, identifying cases of severe harm linked to lower limb reconstruction. Jabbar is believed to live abroad and no longer holds a UK medical licence. The Metropolitan Police said it would study the forthcoming findings but had not received criminal allegations. GOSH said it has taken actions and aims to rebuild trust with affected families.
