Report sent to affected families in Great Ormond Street Hospital surgeon investigation
Dr Yaser Jabbar is accused of carrying out unnecessary procedures.
A confidential report into a former surgeon who carried out botched operations at Great Ormond Street Hospital is being given to affected families.
Dr Yaser Jabbar, who hasn't had a licence to practise medicine in the UK since January, is accused of carrying out unnecessary procedures.
Dean Stalham's daughter Bunty is one of the 721 children whose care has been reviewed by the Trust.
He's seen the report and has called Dr Jabber "a monster" saying: "It proves that they were all unnecessary, because they all failed. It says in the report, not one operation was of any benefit to Bunty whatsoever."
Caroline Murgatroyd is from Hudgell Solicitors and is representing some of the families, she said "They want to understand the background to this, and the governance within Great Ormond Street Hospital as to exactly how these circumstances came about where over several years, hundreds of children have been treated, and there was a failure to identify these problems much sooner".
Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children said in a statement: "We wish to say we are deeply sorry to Bunty and her family, and all the families impacted by the review of care given by a Lower Limb Orthopaedic surgeon. This is not what they should expect from any service at our hospital.
"Within 18 working days of concerns being raised to senior leaders about the Lower Limb Lengthening and Reconstruction Service, we asked the Royal College of Surgeons to carry out a review into our Paediatric Orthopaedic service in July 2022.
"We are now ensuring that all the findings are addressed at pace."
