| Axis | Finding (rubric anchor) | Value | Source class | Weight | Checked |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M1 | Specialist certification of the responsible physician Found in the register with a current status; the register does not disclose the specialty, or discloses a different one (including “no specialisation”), and the clinic claims no protected title. The register's own line is shown on the profile. Scored on the physician the hospital names for its Plastic Surgery clinic (the in-scope service on its services list). Found in the 2026 MDC register, Permanent Register - General, entry 7026 (Paintsil, Albert Bedford; Plastic Surgey & Burns Centre, KBTH; M.B. Ch.B (U.G.M.S), qualified 1986, registered 1991); the Fellows and Members specialist parts carry no entry for him, so the register records no specialty. The hospital's doctor page lists his specialty as Plastic Surgeon. read via crawler [mdc-general] [mdc-fellows] [mdc-members] [site3] Specialty: Plastic Surgeon |

These cells score nothing and are not negative findings. A cell on a register that is closed to machine queries is left out of the coverage calculation; the others count against it. Each one names why it is empty; an attempt that did not complete is re-run in the next collection pass. If you can point to a public source, send it.
