That this House regrets the failure of the General Medical Council to investigate the research of David Southall such as project E5, during which babies with breathing problems were exposed to air with 3,000 ppm of carbon monoxide for 30 seconds.

That this House notes that in an email dated 24th October 2000, John Radford, Doncaster's then Director of Public Health, described the issue of research on babies by Dr David Southall at Doncaster Hospital in the late 1980s as `potentially a hot potato as to my recall the intervention resulted in increased deaths and didn't have proper consent'; expresses concern that the details of this research and its outcomes have been covered up by the health authorities; expresses particular concern that the research protocol specifically required that no action be taken to prevent cot death in the children selected until sufficient data had been collected; and calls for a public inquiry into this and other research managed by Dr Southall to identify why the checks and balances in the system failed.

That this House notes that in the report written for the University Hospital of North Staffordshire by Professor McNeish and Dr Durbin, Professor McNeish said that Dr Southall has pursued multiple clinical research studies which were poorly designed and therefore were unlikely to produce new knowledge of worth, and more worryingly that he appears to have had insufficient regard for the ethical standards that should surround all clinical studies in babies; believes that these are important comments which require proper consideration; is surprised that the University Hospital of North Staffordshire is unable to find a copy of this report; calls for the hospital to locate such a copy and publish its contents; and further calls for an independent judicial or parliamentary inquiry into the research and clinical activities of Dr David Southall, the failure of the regulatory system to prevent unethical experiments on babies managed by Dr Southall and the misuse of child protection and judicial procedures which prevented parents from raising complaints about his research and the methods by which he procured children for his research.

That this House notes that over a large number of years Dr Southall has performed risky, interventionist, non-therapeutic, experiments on babies and young children which have been demonstrated to have caused medical difficulties for some of the babies and young children; further notes that project E5 involved over-sedating babies, misleading parents as to the discomfort and risk faced by their babies and giving carbon monoxide to babies with respiratory problems; further notes that this has been reported to the General Medical Council; and calls for the General Medical Council to explain why no action has been taken.

That this House notes that Dr David Southall has maintained special case files including details of research he has managed on many thousands of babies over a number of years; further notes that it is the view of the Chief Medical Officer that copies of such information should be given to the patients who range throughout England and Wales from Birmingham, through Barnsley to Banbury and Bristol; regrets that the University Hospital of North Staffordshire National Health Service Trust has not as yet done so; and calls for the UHNS Trust to act to rectify this situation.

That this House notes that according to the report written by Professor David Hull for North Staffordshire Trust about the work of Professor David Southall in the report written for the University Hospital of North Staffordshire by Professor McLeish and Dr Durbin, Professor McLeish said that Professor Southall `pursued multiple clinical research studies that were poorly designed and therefore were unlikely to produce new knowledge of worth.
