Letter: Long engagement

​The letter from the GOC confirms the points made in my letter

The letter from the GOC, Optician 08.03.19, confirms the points made in my letter, Optician 01.03.09.

This is now the fifth time I have informed the GOC that it is not the subject matter of its survey that is the pertinent issue about which I have written, but rather its insistence that registrants compulsorily engage with any survey before they can register, effectively creating an impediment to their legal right to so register; this lack of comprehension defies belief, and is responsible for an enforcement that is, I suggest, questionably legal.

Any organisation, particularly a statutory body, that so undermines its core function simultaneously undermines its authority, bringing both it, and its function, into disrepute.
