GOC suspends Milton Keynes OO

The GOC has suspended John Singh, a dispensing optician in Milton Keynes, for 12 months after his fitness to practise was found to be impaired by reason of misconduct.

The suspension was in relation to making numerous fraudulent transactions between January 2018 and March 2022, which the Committee found to be dishonest.

Singh allegedly knowingly supplied patients with spectacles that were of a cheaper and/or inferior quality to what they had paid for and/or did not refund the patients with the difference in price.
