A family doctor accused of sexually motivated misconduct will have to wait until the new year to hear if he is to be struck off or not.

Suspended Dr Yenugula Srinivas has been at the centre of a fitness to practise hearing in Manchester, accused of “sexually motivated conduct” towards 11 female patients while he was working in the Oxford area between April 2008 and January 2009. The Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service has said it expects to give a decision on January 6. Dr Srinivas was cleared of sexually assaulting eight of his patients by a jury at Oxford Crown Court in 2011.
