Erasure(struck off the register)
The MPTS tribunal found that Dr Richard Bowley, a doctor, dishonestly claimed payments under an income protection insurance policy by declaring on a claim form that he had not worked and could not work as a GP, when he had in fact been working as a locum GP. It found his fitness to practise impaired by misconduct. The tribunal, which also reviewed an existing suspension for improperly accessing a colleague's medical records, directed that his name be erased from the Medical Register.
