The NHS ombudsman has said that GPs are unfairly striking patitents from their list without fair warning. There has also been a 6% increase in complaints within the last past year.

In some cases, doctors are striking off not only the patient they want to strike off, but their whole family in the process. Also, one example given of a patient being struck off was where a patient's daughter (who was a nurse) changed the battery on a device she was using. Both are said to have been struck off without warning.

Is zero tolerance the best way to deal with these cases? Should it be up to the discretion (or indiscretion) of the individual doctors to strike off patients?

And what about private providers? Should doctors who practise privately be subject to the same rules as the NHS?
