[1]London: A British Indian dentist from Yorkshire committed suicide after allegedly being “bullied and harassed” by the National Health Service which threatened disciplinary action against him over keeping of records at his clinic, an inquest heard.
Dr Anand Kamath, 42, was under investigation by the National Health Service (NHS) over record-keeping at Rothwell Dental Surgery, which he ran with his wife and fellow dentist Dr Rajni Prasad in the city of Leeds.
An inquest heard last week that the father of three felt “bullied and harassed” and took his own life after receiving a letter from the NHS warning him that he could be reported to the General Dental Council.
“They behaved like bullies and drove a loyal NHS servant over the edge. He just couldn’t take the anxiety,” his 42-year-old wife told the inquest.
“When the letter came, that was the final straw. He gave everything to the NHS. His reward for caring for thousands of patients no other practice would take was to be threatened with the most severe disciplinary action over administrative matters which we agreed straightaway needed improvement,” she added.
