Disgraced doctor will not be prosecuted

THE Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) has decided not to prosecute disgraced surgeon Michael Shine in respect of complaints by two patients.

Meanwhile, the Medical Council has spoken about the allegations that led to the surgeon being struck off.

The council said in a statement that Shine, who was taken off the medical register in November, abused his position by making sexual advances to three young male patients.
