    Erasure(struck off the register)

    The NMC's Fitness to Practise Committee ordered Kiran Farooq to be struck off following convictions for involvement in supplying cocaine and ecstasy. The panel found insufficient insight or remediation and concluded that the serious drug offences were incompatible with continued registration. It acknowledged that the offending had not directly put patients at risk, but found wider public protection and confidence concerns. An interim suspension covers the appeal period.
