NHS doctor who made racist slur against David Lammy is back at work

A senior hospital doctor, Aqeel Jamil, who posted racist and anti-Semitic remarks online, including a slur against Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy, has returned to work at Queen Alexandra Hospital in Portsmouth. The comments, which were exposed earlier this year, drew condemnation from government officials and sparked an investigation by Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust. Despite accepting that his behavior was inappropriate, Dr Jamil's reinstatement has raised concerns about the effectiveness of efforts to address racism and anti-Semitism within the National Health Service. The General Medical Council is continuing its investigation, while the Department of Health has reiterated its stance of zero tolerance for racism in healthcare settings.
