28. Letter to the Commissioner from
Ms Dorries' GP, 26 January 2010
I have been the family doctor to Nadine Dorries and
her family since I took up practice in [name of village] in 1996.
The family had been patients of the practice for a few years before
I arrived. I saw Ms Dorries in a local supermarket last Saturday
following an article which I had read in the Daily Telegraph.
The gist of the article was that her primary place of residency
was somewhere in her constituency. I was somewhat surprised by
this as she and her family have remained as patients of my practice
in [name of village] despite her winning her parliamentary seat
in 2005. I have had a lot of input [material redacted to protect
the privacy of third parties].... I am of the opinion that Ms
Dorries spends most of her time in this area as she simply does
not want to be away ... for longer than is absolutely necessary.
[Material redacted to protect the privacy of third parties] I
see Ms Dorries, her daughters and other family members either
in my practice or out and about on a regular basis. I can say
with certainty that their lives are very much based in and around
this area and that Ms Dorries has a caring commitment for another
family member ... [Material redacted to protect the privacy of
third parties.] I cannot truthfully provide you with numbers.
What I can say is that knowing what I do, it would seem very unlikely
that Ms Dorries has spent the majority of her time anywhere other
than in this area since 2005, as much as her job permits. As the
family doctor, I would also like to say that the sooner this is
concluded the better ...
