Defective section papers #2 (s2 where both medical recommendations give identical "cut and paste" reasons)

We have a s2 with separate medical reccs signed on the same day with identical, ‘cut and paste’ reasons.
This would appear to be invalid?

Interesting question. I’m trying to think how it would be materially different to a joint recommendation.

If it’s from two different and ‘separate’ medical doctors, then it’s a fudge? And if it is, would the General Medical Council be interested? Ooooo.. talk of the GMC possibly getting involved is a no no. The culture is to band together. Somebody tell me I’m wrong.

It is not materially different to a joint recc. but has not been entered on a joint recc form. Interestingly the patient told us before we saw s pps that the sectioning process ‘took 90 seconds’.

Do you think GMC would be interested?
