No qualified surgeons on panel to advise Scottish Government
The Herald has now seen emails which reveal that Scotland's only two fully qualified surgeons in providing abortions up to the 24-week legal limit have been excluded from the Task and Finish group, despite their keenness to be involved. The women's health minister has since told The Herald NHS chief executives nominated "local representatives from relevant services" to become members of the group. The group was established this year to agree on the best way to implement a service for patients seeking an abortion between 20-24 weeks in Scotland and its first meeting took place yesterday. In an email chain between abortion providers north and south of the border this month seen by The Herald, one 24-week provider from Scotland stated: 'Unfortunately neither xx [a 24 week provider] and I have been invited.' They told a senior consultant in touch with the group: 'I hope you can convince them that having at least one of us there might be helpful for informing decisions.' The group was set up following concerns from campaigners and reports in this paper that later stage abortions in Scotland are almost non-existent and are only carried out under exceptional circumstances. READ MORE: Minister criticised for backtracking on abortion care comments 'Only one Scottish doctor is trained in surgical care to legal limit' First Scotland buffer zone arrest as anti-abortion protests return Ed Dorman has been an abortion provider throughout his 40 plus career in the NHS in England and has helped train the two Scottish surgeons excluded from the group. He is urging the group to reconsider as he pointed out these two Scottish surgeons would be the people best-placed to set up a later stage abortion facility in Scotland. The surgeon told The Herald: 'It would make an awful lot of sense for one or both of these highly skilled and highly dedicated clinicians to be involved in these discussions because they are the people who are best-placed to be involved in setting up a service for Scotland. 'It's mystifying to me as to why they have not been brought into this group. "I hope they will think again and get the expertise on board.' Latest figures reveal a woman is forced to travel from Scotland to England every four days to receive later abortion care. Health boards in Scotland do not provide the care up to legal limit unless in specific cases such as foetal abnormality or a threat to the woman's life. The cut-off for most cases currently stands at 20 weeks. The lack of two surgeons, both qualified in providing surgical care, may also lead to the group pushing up the limit of medical abortion provisions in Scottish hospitals, Dr Dorman worries. In 2014, the proportion of all abortions in Scotland that were surgical was 22%, however, this has now dropped to 1.9% in 2024. Dr Dorman said this is likely due to pioneering tele-medical abortions (pills at home) during the Covid lockdown. However, he said there is a concern that because there is no later stage abortion provider sitting on this group, the government and health boards could decide to only provide medical (i.e pill-induced) later abortion. He said this would limit the choice for women seeking the care who may prefer surgical care. Dr Dorman told The Herald: 'It limits the choice for women to something that is really quite traumatic and unpalatable for many of them. 'Having a later medical abortion up to 24 weeks is really quite traumatic. That's why, given the choice, the majority of people who sadly end up needing to have an abortion that late, tend to choose a surgical abortion.' Dr Dornan added that there are circumstances where surgical abortion is "definitely safer" than medical ones at a later gestation, namely for people have had previous uterine surgery or, most commonly, Caesarean sections. The Scottish Government's 2021 Women's Health Plan had an aim that 'all women will have a choice about how and where they access abortion care'. During their conference in 2022, the SNP committed to ensuring abortion services are available up to the legal limit of 24 weeks for all patients. However, this is still not the case. Earlier this month, the women's health minister Jenni Minto told The Herald she had written to the chair of the group urging them to report back within six months and provide 'an expert view' on establishing a later stage abortion service in Scotland. Since then, the Scottish Government has committed to pay for training for any clinician who wishes to provide later stage abortions. Scottish Government has previously said they are working with the Scottish Abortion Care Providers network, the Faculty of Sexual and Reproductive Health and the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists to improve access for clinicians to surgical abortion training at all gestations. Ministers have said they will "present" information gathered from Health Boards to Chief Executives to help inform discussions about where surgical abortion provision could be increased. Public Health Minister Jenni Minto said: 'I want NHS Boards in Scotland to deliver later stage abortions, to all women that need them, as soon as is viable. "The Scottish Government is providing individual clinicians who wish to receive training to deliver later stage abortions with funding to do so. That is why there are ongoing conversations with clinicians interested in training, and more staff are undergoing training - in addition to previously trained staff. 'A Task and Finish Group has been established to ensure equitable access to abortion services up to the legal gestational limit within Scotland, as soon as possible. NHS Board Chief Executives have nominated local representatives from relevant services, who will engage with a range of service providers and staff within their regions. 'I have asked the Group to report back within six months and provide an expert view on establishing the later stage abortion service in Scotland. The Scottish Government will work closely with Health Boards to implement the service as soon as possible.'

British dad jailed for 40 years in 'hellhole prison' after being 'caught with cocaine'
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info A British father has been sentenced to 40 years in a notorious Dubai prison after he was allegedly caught with cocaine. Sam Dorman's relatives are reportedly "understandably distraught" after the tattoo artist received his sentence. The 33 year old was arrested earlier this month following a police operation, it is believed. Authorities are said to have found half a gram of cocaine on Dorman. Reports also suggest an additional 28g of the Class A drug was found at his residence. In the UK, the drugs would be valued at approximately £2,000, but their worth could triple in the United Arab Emirates due to higher street prices. Dubai is infamous for its strict anti-drug laws, reports the Mirror. Dorman, originally from Glossop, Derbyshire, is thought to have moved to Dubai in 2022 to set up a business venture. His family in Britain are now said to be deeply concerned for the well-being of the tattooist and barber following his conviction. It is reported Dorman will be incarcerated at Al-Awir Central Prison, known for its harsh conditions and severe treatment of inmates. This is the same prison where British teenager Marcus Fakana was held last year after being charged with having sex with a British girl while on holiday. A source close to Dorman and his family told The Sun : "He's got a young daughter in the UK, so to be serving 40 years is really sad. He won't be out till he's in his 70s. Join Edinburgh Live's Whatsapp Community here and get the latest news sent straight to your messages "The prison's a hellhole and Sam's family are understandably distraught. When they spoke to him, it looked like he'd taken a battering. I just hope someone can help him." The insider revealed that Dorman, a father of one, "got in with the wrong crowd" after relocating to the United Arab Emirates. They suspect that a customer, who had purchased drugs from Dorman, was caught by the police. The source alleges that the police then seized this individual's phone and messaged Dorman, pretending to be the buyer and requesting more. This reportedly led to Dorman's arrest and subsequent imprisonment on Monday, according to today's reports. The Mirror has reached out to the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) for comment and additional information. However, the FCDO has informed The Sun: "We are supporting a British man detained in Dubai." This incident follows another case involving a Brit, Bella May Culley, who could face up to 20 years in a dreadful Georgian jail. The teenager, hailing from Billingham in County Durham, was arrested in Georgia earlier this week on suspicion of attempting to smuggle drugs into the country.

Dad 'caught with cocaine' jailed for 40 years in hellhole Dubai prison
Sam Dorman was arrested in a police sting after he was allegedly in possession of half a gram of cocaine, before police found more drugs at his Dubai home. A British dad allegedly caught with cocaine in Dubai has been jailed for 40 years in a hellhole prison. The family of Sam Dorman are said to be "understandably distraught" following the tattoo artist's sentencing. After a police sting earlier this month, the 33-year-old man was taken into custody, it is understood. Half a gram of cocaine was reportedly found in Dorman's possession by officers, reports the Mirror. An additional 28g of the Class A substance was discovered at his home, according to reports today. On British shores, that total is estimated to be worth around £2,000, however in the United Arab Emirates it could sell for three times more. Dubai is well-renowned for its zero tolerance when it comes to illegal substances. Dorman migrated to Dubai in 2022 from Glossop, Derbyshire, to start a business, it is believed. However, his family back in the UK are understood to be worried for the tattoo artist and barber following his sentencing. The father will serve his time at Al-Awir Central Prison, it is said, which is infamous for its poor conditions and brutality. It is where British teen Marcus Fakana was detained late last year. In the United Arab Emirates, sex between those under 18 is illegal. Marcus had sex with the London girl, who was one month away from being 18, during a family holiday in August. Her mum found out after discovering messages sent between the pair and reported him to the local police. Speaking to The Sun, a source close to Dorman and his family said: "He's got a young daughter in the UK, so to be serving 40 years is really sad. He won't be out till he's in his 70s. The prison's a hellhole and Sam's family are understandably distraught. When they spoke to him, it looked like he'd taken a battering. I just hope someone can help him." The insider said dad-of-one Dorman "got in with the wrong crowd" since moving to the United Arab Emirates. The source believed a customer, to whom Dorman had sold drugs, had been apprehended by the police. They claimed police then took his phone and messaged the tattoo artist, in a bid to pretend to be the buyer and asked for more. This then reportedly led to Dorman's arrest and he was eventually jailed on Monday, according to reports today. The Mirror has contacted the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) for comment and further detail. The FCDO has, however, told The Sun: "We are supporting a British man detained in Dubai." The case comes as another Brit, Bella May Culley, could spend the next 20 years in a hellhole jail in Georgia. The teenager, from Billingham in County Durham, was arrested in Georgia this week on suspicion of trying to smuggle drugs into the nation. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!
