High Court grants the Dental Council's application for interim suspension of a dentist's registration, pending further court order, due to serious allegations of supplying unlicensed and prescription-only medicinal products without prescriptions. The court conducted a balancing exercise between the public interest and the dentist's constitutional rights, ultimately determining that the immediate risk to public safety necessitated the suspension. The undertakings offered by the dentist were deemed insufficient to mitigate the risks involved. A review of the suspension is scheduled for February 2025, contingent upon the progress of any related criminal proceedings or Fitness to Practise inquiries.
