A senior GP who stole more than £1 million of NHS money to fund his 'desperate' addiction to online gambling has been struck off. The crooked family doctor defrauded the group of GP surgeries immediately after being put in charge of its accounts, leaving its finances in disarray and other directors needing therapy. 'The event has caused GP surgeries to lose trust in the PPCA and it has caused embarrassment. 'In any event you were seduced by your addiction by your addiction to gambling and it was not just a one off.' Of the £1.13 million he embezzled, Chhapia paid back £238,000 and gambling companies will pay back £904,000.
