    The GDC's Interim Orders Committee decided at a review hearing on 30 April 2026 to continue the interim suspension on dental nurse Andrea Strafford's registration. The order was first imposed on 14 February 2025 for 12 months, and on 13 February 2026 the High Court extended it for a further nine months. The committee continued the suspension for the remainder of that extension, with another review due in six months.
