Baby P doctor 'didn't tell new bosses of misconduct case'

THE doctor at the centre of the case involving the death of Baby P faced fresh allegations of misconduct yesterday.

Consultant paediatrician Dr Sabah al-Zayyat, who failed to spot Baby P's broken back and ribs days before his death, applied for a job in Ireland after the tragedy, but failed to inform her prospective employer she was facing action from the General Medical Council (GMC), it was alleged.

She will appear before the GMC's fitness to practise panel later this month accused of a catalogue of allegations relating to her treatment of baby Peter Connelly in 2007.

Dr Zayyat had her contract with Great Ormond Street Hospital in London terminated after the case came to light.
