NHS doctor struck off over botched circumcision still performing operation
AI Summary
A doctor, Zuber Bux, struck off the medical register in 2021 for serious misconduct during a circumcision that endangered a toddler's life, is still performing the procedure as a layperson. Despite the General Medical Council deeming his actions "reckless," Bux continues to advertise his services as a "circumcision practitioner" in North West England. This is legal due to the lack of regulation surrounding circumcision practitioners in the UK. The case highlights growing concerns about safeguarding and the absence of medical oversight in the practice, especially as other former doctors removed from the medical register for similar botched circumcisions have continued to perform the procedure. Campaigners are raising alarms, especially after a similar case led to a prison sentence for causing "gratuitous pain and suffering".
