Description
The appellant was a paramedic. On 18 April, the appellant gave his colleague a bag full of drugs, which included a quantity of out-of-date diamorphine, some of which were injected by his colleague. When questioned by the competence and conduct committee (the defendant Health Professions Council) it was decided that the appellant would be sanctioned with a striking off order. On appeal, it was found that the sanction was proportionate between public protection and the rights of the practitioner. It was concluded that the allegation against the appellant had been proved.
