The GMC’s Fitness to Practise Panel had been justified in finding that the failure of a doctor, who suffered from hepatitis B, to provide information as to his past employers was in breach of good medical practice and constituted misconduct, by reason of which his fitness to practise was impaired. The panel had therefore been entitled to impose the sanction of erasure of his name from the register.
Ivan Hare (instructed by GMC Legal) acted for the respondent.
