Dr. Roger Swift was the hospital administrator at Walker General Hospital in San Francisco in 1999 and 2000. (PROSE: The Novel of the Film)

After being coerced into it by Mrs. Carrington, (PROSE: The Novel of the Film) Swift led a group of financial donors to an observation deck, where they watched Dr Grace Holloway's unsuccessful operation on the Seventh Doctor. Later, when trying to assess what went wrong during the procedure, he began a cover-up of the entire affair, in order to protect the hospital's reputation. He burned the X-ray revealing the Doctor's binary vascular system and tried to bring Holloway into his deception, reasoning that, since neither the Doctor's body nor his X-rays existed, it would be possible to proceed as if the Doctor had never even existed. This plan incensed Holloway, however, and she responded by immediately resigning. (TV: Doctor Who)
