Dentist ‘Put Through Hell’ Over False £53,000 Misclaiming Allegation

A DENTIST who was wrongly pursued for more than £50,000 in ‘misclaimed’ treatment fees only for the case against him to be dropped days before it was due to go to court has accused Scotland‘s regulators of making practitioners sick with “protracted, false, and threatening” investigations.

Hugh Taggart, from Giffnock in East Renfrewshire, was forced to cash in his pension and sell both his dental practices during the five-year ordeal.

The father-of-two, 56, was also prepared to sell the family home he shares with his wife and children aged 10 and 13 when Practitioner Services Division (PSD) suddenly backed out of bringing the case against him at Edinburgh Sheriff Court in October.
