No comments| A Stourbridge dentist who was jailed last year for fraud has had his contract pulled by Dudley health chiefs. NHS Dudley has announced Jaspal Bachada has lost his contract to provide NHS treatment. He was sentenced to 20 months in prison after admitting two charges of fraud, one relating to conning money out of the NHS and the other relating to defrauding patients. The General Dental Council will decide later this year if he should be struck off the register. |

| The General Dental Council (GDC) must prioritise its role in protecting the public and stop wasting time and resources on whether dentists should be allowed to continue using the courtesy title ‘doctor’, the British Dental Association (BDA) has argued in a letter from chief executive, Peter Ward, to the GDC today. The letter has been sent ahead of a meeting of the GDC’s Council on Thursday (24 February 2011), which is due to consider a recommendation by GDC’s Standards Committee that dentists no longer be permitted to use the courtesy title. |

| The General Dental Council (GDC) will put itself on a collision course with the British Dental Association (BDA) and most of its dentist registrants if it accepts a recommendation from its Standards Committee that dentists should not be allowed to use the courtesy title doctor. Despite the facts that large majority (90.4%) of respondents to the 12 week consultation on advertising believed that dentists should be allowed to use the courtesy title, it seems likely that the GDC will go ahead and ban it. |
