General Medical Council refused to investigate alleged medical malpractice at Harrods in 2017 .

Woman who underwent medical examination in 2008 complained nine years later that former owner Mohamed Al Fayed had been told about her results.

GMC said it would not be able to investigate how the billionaire obtained the information.

On Friday , the GMC described the Fayed revelations as "horrifying" and said it will "carefully assess" any new complaints.

Dr Snell was one of at least two doctors alleged to have performed intrusive examinations on Harrods recruits.

The other, Dr Anne Coxon , has been named by many women who have come forward after the BBC documentary.

The GMC said the allegations against Fayed were "horrifying and shocking".
