In January, the GPhC gave 18-month interim suspension orders to three other pharmacists implicated in the BBC's investigation. |
The documentary, which aired in December, accused nine pharmacies in west London of selling prescription-only medicines, including diazepam, without prescriptions.
The GPhC said it was unable to provide further details about the interim order hearings because they were held in private on April 8.
At the time of the BBC exposé, C+D readers condemned the pharmacists implicated, saying they did not represent the majority of the profession.
