Can I find out if a doctor has complaints against them?

    Is this something I could FOI or would it be considered personal information?

    Can you use FOI to get info on other people?

    Like, presumably I couldn't get your tax info from the government?

    I'm no lawyer though.

    I would hope people can't find out until a decision has been made, as the one or 2 complaints I've had against me were total crackpot stuff.

    I wouldn't bother tbh.
    If any complaints were made against a doctor that would imply an inability to do their job, the complaints would be seriously investigated.
    On that note, if a doctor has had a serious complaint made against and they're not fit to practice, they won't be practicing.
    The medical council exists for a reason you know.

    Ask the Medical Council, they're the crowd who deal with complaints against doctors. You could also check court records, you may be able to do a search through the courts website, the crew in the Legal Discussion forum may know more about that though.
