Osborne’s brother suspended
(UKPA) – 17 hours ago
The doctor brother of shadow chancellor George Osborne has been suspended from practising medicine for six months for misconduct relating to prescriptions he wrote for a girlfriend, a family member and an escort girl.
Dr Adam Osborne was found by a General Medical Council (GMC) panel to have behaved dishonestly in an attempt to obtain anti-psychotic medication for a cocaine-addicted woman he had been seeing while his partner was away.
The 33-year-old had earlier admitted “inappropriate” behaviour in relation to the prescription, as well those written to get an anti-smoking drug for a family member and the contraceptive pill for his then-girlfriend.
The panel ruled that the gravity of his failings meant that an extension of the condition under which Dr Osborne is currently allowed to work would not be in the public interest.
