Dr Richard Scott, 59, was investigated after the National Secular Society (NSS) claimed that a 'highly vulnerable' patient 'felt discomfort at the use of prayer'. In the interview, aired in January, Dr Scott spoke about how he sometimes used his faith to help patients with depression and anxiety. But the doctor, who practices at the Bethesda Medical Centre in Margate, Kent, has now been cleared of any wrongdoing. Dr Scott said the investigation had caused stress with his family, but said he won't change how he treats patients. According to the Christian Legal Centre, the legal group who supported Dr Scott, the GMC concluded that 'there is no first-hand account or complaint from any patient about [his] practice'.
