    Restoration refused(restoration to the register refused)

    The MPTS tribunal decided that Mr Humayun Iqbal should not be restored to the medical register. He had been erased in 2013 after the original panel found he had sexually assaulted two junior female colleagues at a Newcastle hospital and made dishonest statements during the investigation. The tribunal found his insight and remediation were limited and that restoring him would undermine public confidence and the safety of patients and colleagues. He must wait at least 12 months before reapplying.
