None of the new much vaunted registration reforms recommended by Dame Janet ( bless ! ) expensive and useless tho they may be would detect another Shipmman because he made sure he was liked by his patients
as for using doctors' death rates as a measure ( surrogate measure ) - this that was done early on - yeah see if he is killing them then he has to fill out more death certificates see ? - and it was found that all of them yes all of the doctors had old peoples homes on their books and nothing else. So you can measure doctrs death rates but it is useless as a measure of anything besides where his patients live. In this case in a care home
this did not stop a whole raft of expensive paper filling being foisted on hospitals and doctors which had no rational basis whatsoever
this did not stop would-be regulators queuing up for their knighthoods and gongs suggesting regulatory reforms the govt wanted to put in anyway
You may wonder if detection of crime and its recording is a police matter and not a GMC regulation matter... I dont ....
