The UK medical regulator has apologised to doctors it struck off or pursued for “engaging in consensual sexual activity and intimacy with other men”. 

The General Medical Council (GMC) made the statement after a review found the watchdog had initiated fitness to practise proceedings against at least 40 male doctors over their sexuality.
