Mr Sinker said the trust had “restricted the individual’s clinical practice” as a precautionary measure last year, and following the outcome of the review, they were suspended and are “fully co-operating with the trust’s process”.
He added that Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has informed the General Medical Council, NHS England and the Care Quality Commission.
Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust said an external review was ordered in October after concerns were raised by staff.
“While this retrospective review will take time, we are committed to fully examining all of the cases and we will be proactive in contacting patients and their families in any case where we identify the possibility that there has been a poorer than expected outcome from their treatment.”.
Mr Sinker said: “We take this matter extremely seriously and are committed to ensuring all affected patients and families receive appropriate care and support.
