==Background== Dr. Speight was born in [[India]], where his father was a missionary doctor. Dr Speight left India when he was 10 and went to secondary school at Merchant Taylors' School, Crosby (Merseyside). He qualified in 1966 from Cambridge and University College Hospital, worked as a junior doctor in London and then taught at the new medical school in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. When he returned to the UK four years later, he changed from Adult Medicine to Paediatrics and did his paediatric training in Newcastle. In 1982 he became a consultant and took up his post in Durham, where he worked for 25 years. He developed special interests in childhood asthma, food intolerance, child abuse and neglect, emotional and behavioural problems and ADHD. He retired in 2007 but works in locum posts for several months a year. He is married and has four children and four grandchildren. He is a keen cyclist, and has cycled in Ecuador, Cuba, Jordan, and South India, and from Land's End to John O'Groats in the UK.
