The Courier can reveal that a Tayside surgeon at the centre of a growing local health scandal has yet again escaped being struck off.
The Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service has determined the interim order of conditions against Professor Muftah Salem Eljamel, imposed in February 2014, should remain in place and be subject to review.
The order means the doctor remains unable to carry out spinal surgery and he cannot complete private practice work which he had been doing until 2013.
He remains registered with the General Medical Council but wihtout a licence to practise.
He also must informt he General Medical Council (GMC) if he appies for work outside the UK and must allow the body to “exchange information with his employer or any contracting body for which he provides medical services”.
