birminghammail.net on December 09, 2010 reported that a Zimbabwean-born doctor has been suspended for a month after being convicted of stealing NHS prescriptions for his family. Dr Pasipanodya Guti was working for Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust, including Redditch’s Alexander Hospital, when he wrote the Trust’s NHS prescriptions for relatives in Africa. The father of three was convicted of two counts of dishonestly making a false representation at Birmingham Magistrates’ Court on February 25 last year and sentenced to 100 hours’ unpaid work. But now he has also been suspended after appearing before the General Medical Council (GMC).
