Rogue breast surgeon Ian Paterson must give evidence at inquests into the deaths of 62 of his patients, a coroner has ruled, after the disgraced doctor launched a last-minute bid to have his witness summons revoked.
The 66-year-old, who is serving a 20-year custodial term after being convicted of multiple counts of wounding in 2017, was accused of attempting to delay the hearings after lodging an application to have his witness summons revoked the day before the first inquest was due to start on October 10.
