Text alternative: step 1a: consider what has happened since the previous MPTs decision

  • What was the previous MPT’s assessment of risk and reasons given for it?
  • What new evidence has been received since the previous MPT’s assessment of risk and what impact does it have?
  • What evidence is there of insight and is the doctor’s insight genuine?
  • What evidence is there relating to remediation and has the allegation now been remedied or is it still likely to be repeated?
  • Has the doctor kept their knowledge and skills up to date?
  • Has the risk to public protection that previously required restrictive action in response changed and if so, how?
