This article reveals that a doctor banned for a botched circumcision is still legally performing the procedure as a non-medic. Zuber Bux was removed from the medical register after a tribunal ruled his "reckless" circumcision of a toddler with a heart condition was life-threatening. Despite this, he continues to advertise his services. This is currently legal because there are no regulations requiring medical training to perform the procedure. Campaigners say this situation is a catastrophic failure of child safety. The article also notes that two other former doctors who were struck off for failed circumcisions have also continued to operate.
