London GP referred patients to law firm

An investigation by ITV London Tonight has found that a London GP referred patients who had been involved in a road accident to a firm of personal injury solicitors. The GP is now facing investigation by the General Medical Council. The doctor also reportedly gave his name as reference in a handwritten note which he was told to take to the firm. In the programme, the GP was found to have recommended the law firm to a man who had suffered whiplash in a road traffic accident.
