MUNCHAUSEN'S SYNDROME BY PROXY IN NORTH EAST ENGLAND

That this House notes that Fran Lyon and Marianne Key are emigrating to achieve security for a family life following false allegations of Munchausen's Syndrome by Proxy by medical professionals in the North East; further notes many other cases of false allegations and misconduct by the same professionals; regrets reports of incidents of explicit triumphalism by social workers who have prevented parents seeing their children at Christmas; and calls for the law to be changed so that providing evidence of misbehaviour by professionals to regulatory bodies is never contempt of court.
