I believe that it is new. Moreover, the original page quoted by AZ and others is dated 3rd Nov. Knowing full well that listing for the other schools "under investigation" but not "suspended" had changed I phoned the GMC this morning. They acknowledged that the status had changed but were tight-lipped as to reasons and time span.

I have written and asked specific questions. On their response, I will post it here. You'd think any "member of the press" would have done at least that.

The 2nd quote came onto the site in last 48 hours. Verify it with the GMC if you like.

This would be a miracle. The residency requirements in the UK to "work as a surgeon" need years of post grad experience and a fellowship in the Royal College of Surgeons. So I don't think so! Exaggerated/erroneous claims do not help any one's argument. In fact it makes people dismiss even what might be valid ideas. No one wants to see anyone fail, but things have to be tightened up with all "offshore" med schools or the lowest common denominator will color everyone's reputation

Point one: St Chris started here in the UK in 2000, Uh over 5 years ago so if someone started in the 4th year in 2000 then they could be practicing in the UK, but there is no info on the official St. Chris site nor the student site that there is a surgeon here in the UK.

Point two: The BBC has made the claim not St. Chris. If they have then fine but I've never read nor heard such a statment.

Be carful of what you post. This is sensitive to about 800 current students and posting verifiable facts are best, he said she said don't cut it.

actually this document from the state of oregon mentions st. chris and if you look it up in the charter file in the uK it says 1998

http://www.doj.state.or.us/releases/rel072500.htm

Has anyone seen the actual charter?
