Great Ormond Street: Families criticise redacted surgeon report

BBC News has also learned that Mr Jabbar worked at four other London hospitals including three in the private sector – St John and St Elizabeth, the Cromwell and the Portland.

St John and St Elizabeth Hospital said there had been three adult inpatient procedures there between October 2020 and January 2023, when Mr Jabbar had had practising privileges there, but no concerns had been raised about his practice.

“Alongside several other providers, we are working closely with Great Ormond Street Hospital to assist them in their review,” the hospital said.

Cromwell Hospital said Mr Jabbar had operated on 12 adults and six children, during the short time he worked there.

“We received no complaints about Mr Jabbar’s treatment,” it said.

“Since the concerns around Mr Jabbar came to light, we have proactively contacted all patients directly and are continuing to stay in close contact while this investigation proceeds.”

The hospital was committed to the highest standards of care, it added.

He also worked at the Portland hospital and at an NHS trust, the Chelsea and Westminster.
