At the centre of a British hospital one Dutch doctor named Dick van Velzen, has been found guilty of serious professional misconduct for removing organs from the bodies of over 850 dead children without parental consent.
A 2001 government report into the scandal, which shocked Britain with its graphic nature, said the doctor had ordered the stripping of hearts, brain parts, eyes and heads.
More than 2000 pots containing body parts from about 800 infants were found at the hospital during an investigation.
The medical council, the governing body for British doctors, said van Velzen had acted in an inappropriate, improper and irresponsible manner.
Van Velzen, who was suspended from the medical register in 2001, had previously blamed the hospital for failing to tell parents. He has 28 days to appeal. |
