Disgraced Surgeon Ian Paterson Stripped of £1 Million Pension

Health Secretary Wes Streeting revokes pension following Paterson's conviction for unnecessary surgeries on over 1,000 patients.

Ian Paterson, serving a 20-year prison sentence, was convicted in 2017 for performing unnecessary surgeries on breast cancer patients.
The decision to strip Paterson of his pension was made under NHS rules for criminal acts causing serious public distrust.
Inquests into the deaths of 62 of Paterson's former patients are set to begin, with additional inquests planned.
An independent inquiry found that Paterson exaggerated or invented cancer risks to justify unnecessary procedures.
Paterson's recent move to a Category D open prison has caused distress among victims and their families.
