| Public hearing | |
| The GMC had already placed temporary conditions on the registration of Dr al-Zayyat at a hearing in August 2008 which meant she could only work under supervision. | |
| But those conditions have now been upgraded to a full suspension. | |
| The GMC said it will hold a full public hearing if its investigation merits it. | |
| At the end of any such hearing, it could either strike Dr al-Zayyat off the medical register, extend her current suspension, rescind her suspension but place conditions on her licence, or simply not impose any penalty on her. |
