The High Court has decided to extend Desmond D'Mello's statutory 18-month suspension, following an application by the General Dental Council (GDC), but a date for his fitness to practise hearing has not been set. He was originally suspended in August 2014 over hygiene concerns and his interim suspension had been due to expire on 26 February 2016.
Jonathan Green, director of fitness to practise at the GDC, said: "The order which ensures Mr Desmond D'Mello will remain suspended pending his GDC hearing has been extended by the High Court until 26 October 2016. The date of Mr D'Mello's fitness to practise hearing is still to be confirmed but is likely to take place in the summer".
The dentist's alleged failings include reusing dirty gloves and failing to decontaminate dental instruments. Last year, in the largest recall of patints about 22,000 were recalled and many tested for HIV and hepatitis. A total of 4,526 of Mr D'Mello's patients from the Daybrook Dental Practice in Nottingham were also screened for blood-borne viruses.
