NFA Catalogue
The Breakspear Allergy Hospital in Hertfordshire has been the subject of allegations of wrong diagnosis, useless treatment and a death following the failure of treatments. It is run by Dr Jean Munro who charges extortionate fees for bizarre treatments including advising patients to set themselves in sealed environments within their homes to protect themselves. Four staff left the Breakspear, inlcuding the matron and this week the General Medical Council is investigating these allegations. Featuring Dr Jean Munro of the Breakspear Hospital, Caroline Richmond (Campaign Against Health Fraud), Dr William Ray (Brookhaven Medical Center, US), Professor Maurice Lessof (Guy's Hospital), Dr David Pearson (consultant allergist) and Dr Georges Kaye.
