GP STRUCK OFF OVER OFFER TO CIRCUMCISE YOUNG GIRLS

Jeremy Laurance, Health Editor

 

A GP who was caught on film offering to carry out an illegal circumcision on an 8-year old girl was struck off the medical register yesterday.

 

The General Medical Council found Dr Abdul Ahmed guilty of serious professional misconduct after he offered to perform the operation for 50. The GMC dismissed Dr Ahmed's claim that he believed he was discussing the circumcision of boys.

 

Dr Ahmed, 63, was exposed by an Asian TV researcher working for Channel 4 programme on female circumcision called 'Cutting the Rose'. The woman posed as a mother who wanted her daughter circumcised and visited Dr Ahmed aat his home in Manchester with a video camera hidden in a handbag. She explained that in her home country of Somalia it was traditional to have young girls circumcised. On the tape, although initially reluctant, Dr Ahmed is heard arranging the operation at 4 pm that day, adding: 'This is not free -- you have to pay for it.' He agreed to perform the surgery on 2 other girls at 50 each.

 

The surgery was never carried out but the taped meeting was later broadcast. Dr Ahmed was interviewed by police but said the conversation had been about the circumcision of boys.

 

Giving the GMC's verdict yesterday, Professor Denis McDevitt, chairman of the professional conduct committee, said: 'The committee is appalled by the evidence they have heard of your offer to perform an abhorrent mutilation and illegal operation on female children. We do not find credible your account given both in the police interview and your evidence today that you believed you were discussing the circumcision of boys.'

 

The committee, which heard tapes of telephone calls and watched viseo-tapes of the meetings, took the rare measure of suspending Dr Ahmed, now a senior partner in a GP practice in Stoke Newington, London, from the register immediately to protect the public. He has 28 days to appeal. The GP later insisted that part of an audio tape in which he said he would not carry out female circumcision was missing. He maaintained that the documentary team had tried to trick him, and that on several occasions he had mistakenly referred to girls and daughters when he meant boys and sons. Female circumcision is illegal in Britain but is still practised in some ethnic minority communities, and carried out in backstreet clinics.

 

 

And what did he do with the bits he cut off? Yum yum.
