THE CONSULTANT fired by East Surrey Hospital has spoken out against the decision to dismiss him.
Yesterday the Mirror reported how consultant urologist Paul Miller had been dismissed by Surrey and Sussex Healthcare Trust, which runs the hospital in Canada Avenue, following an internal investigation into the care of 1,200 prostate and bladder cancer patients.
But today Mr Miller has expressed his disappointment at the decision and welcomed any investigation into his practice.
He said: "I am extremely disappointed that the trust has decided to dismiss me. I strongly do not believe that this is justified.
"I welcome the opportunity to co-operate with any investigation into my practice.
"My priority as a consultant for the last 21 years has always been to protect patient's best interests and safety. I cannot comment further due to my duty of patient confidentiality."
The General Medical Council has currently imposed conditions on Mr Miller's practice pending the completion of their own investigation.
