Sep 13, 20243:04Now PlayingThe mother of a young girl treated by a surgeon accused of carrying out "inappropriate and unnecessary" operations has told Sky News her daughter was left in a wheelchair for nearly two years after surgery.
Great Ormond Street Hospital is reviewing 721 of Dr Yaser Jabbar's cases.
It comes as Sky News confirms he has been suspended from his role in Dubai where he had been working.
A spokesperson for Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children said: "We know that the patients and families affected will be extremely distressed by the issues raised by the review we commissioned into our orthopedic service.
"This is not what they should expect from any service at our hospital. To all of them we wish to say we are deeply sorry.
"As we complete case reviews, the outcomes of these will be shared with the patient and their family, regardless of whether harm has been found or not.
"As we have said previously, we will share a summary of the report in our public board, but we will be sharing it first with our families."
