Dental Professionals Hearings Service determination — interim orders hearing
Interim restrictions imposed — 1 year
The regulator’s term: interim order imposed
What does “interim restrictions imposed” mean?
An interim order is a precautionary restriction imposed before the regulator's investigation is complete. It is not a finding of fault — the underlying allegations have not yet been adjudicated.
Concerning Mohammed Bala, dentist (General Dental Council 81926).
Decision date: 28 January 2026 · Hearing started 28 January 2026
In plain English
The Dental Professionals Hearings Service published an Interim Orders Committee decision for Mohammed Bala. The committee continued the interim suspension under a 12-month order. This is an interim, precautionary decision while the GDC process continues, and the public detail page does not record final findings about the underlying concerns.
Charges
The DPHS public detail page records an Interim Orders Committee decision. It does not set out final charges or final findings; interim orders are precautionary restrictions while the GDC process continues.
Findings
The Dental Professionals Hearings Service records that the Interim Orders Committee continued the interim suspension under a 12-month order for Mohammed Bala. The public outcome summary states: At a review hearing on 28 January 2026, the Interim Orders Committee continued the suspension on Mr Bala’s registration for the remainder of the 12 month High Court order. An interim order of conditions was originally imposed on 29 November 2023 for 18 months. At a review hearing on 6 March 2024, the Interim Orders Committee revoked the conditions and imposed an interim order of suspension which was imposed from 6 March 2024. The High Court extended the order on 20 May 2025 for a further 12 months. This interim order is due to expire on 5 June 2026 and the GDC will be applying to the High Court for a further extension of it. In the event that such an application is granted, the order will be reviewed in accordance with the GDC's statutory requirements.
