AN anaesthetist has had his suspension confirmed by the General Medical Council Interim Orders Committee.

Narenda Basnyat, of Rectory Lane, Bury, was made subject to an 18 months suspension in October last year.

Each order is subject to a six month review at which the committee reaffirmed the original orde, leaving him suspended until April 29 next year.

It does not amount to a finding of fact, but has been imposed to protect the public pending a full investigation.
