An NHS worker has been struck off after being caught stealing medications, and taking them herself in the toilets while still on duty, a tribunal has found.
In an action that has been described as "deplorable", it has been shockingly revealed that Fiona M Watson, who was working in surgical theatres at Sunderland Royal Hospital, stole drugs - including diazepram - from the hospital's supply and took them in the staff toilets.
Ms Watson, who was formerly an registered operating department practitioner assisting anaesthetists, has now been struck off.
