 | | Disgraced gynaecologist Richard Neale has been working in the NHS despite being struck off the medical register for a catalogue of errors, it emerged today. |
 | | Mr Neale, 54, was banned from operating or treating patients in July 2000 after he was found guilty of 34 charges of botching women's care, leaving 15 of his patients in pain, incontinent, or unable to bear children. |
 | | Today one of the gynaecologist's former patients called for a change in legislation, saying it defied logic that a surgeon twice struck off a medical register could still find employment within the NHS. |
