(not the chap in this photo)

This website will not desist in monitoring its (GSCC http://www.gscc.org.uk/Home/) progress to ultimate demise and persist in monitoring the emergence of the new Health and Care Professions Council (HPC as they are now http://www.hpc-uk.org/).

This article in the Spectator in 2008 reads like a fairy tale, of wonder woman ‘Sarah’ (Elizabeth Calleja) in her battle against injustice! Absolute and utter tosh.
As usual, Calleja only tells half truths and slips in a few untruths – she is dissembling like a good politician.
