Rahman Lowe Solicitors Raise Serious Concerns Over Wes Streeting’s Comments in Dr Aladwan’s GMC Case

We act for Dr Rahmeh Aladwan, a Palestinian doctor currently subject to ongoing investigation by the GMC following complaints submitted by, among others, the Campaign Against Antisemitism.

On 30 September 2025, we issued a formal legal letter to the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, Wes Streeting regarding serious and prejudicial public comments made by him on social media in response to a decision of the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS) on 25 September 2025 against the GMC’s attempts to seek interim restrictions on Dr Aladwan’s practice.

The letter expresses grave concern about the Minister’s intervention in live quasi-judicial proceedings, without knowledge of the evidence or submissions before the MPTS. The comments, made in apparent alignment with complainants, undermines the independence of regulatory and judicial processes and raise serious questions about the Secretary of State’s adherence to the Ministerial Code, the House of Commons Code of Conduct, and the principle of the Rule of Law. We have demanded that the Minister ceases all further commentary or involvement in Dr Aladwan’s case, and that he discloses details of any meetings or communications held with complainants or the GMC.
