Risk to patients?

A “world renowned” consultant radiologist has been suspended from the medical register for six months after being convicted of failing to pay more than £400,000 in tax on his private practice earnings. XXX a professor of cardiovascular imaging, was given a 15 month suspended prison sentence and fined £200,000 in 2015. The GMC argued that he should be erased from the register. But the medical practitioners tribunal concluded that he made a unique contribution to the care of critically ill patients and the development of cutting edge techniques.
