A panel of doctors and lay members sitting at the GMC offices in Manchester decided that Dr Jones's actions at Oxley Health Centre warranted the toughest of sanctions.

Dr Jones, pictured, was jailed for nine months in September 2004 after sexually assaulting a female patient. Wolverhampton Crown Court heard the married father-of-three had licked his lips suggestively while eating a plum and degraded his victim, who went to see him with a whiplash injury, by speaking in a comical French accent during an examination.

He has been suspended from practising since March 2004 and yesterday, the GMC announced their findings from a hearing. They found Jones had an "improper" relationship with one patient and indecently assaulted another.

The GP, of Shrewsbury, also saw female patients without a chaperone, despite being forbidden to do so by the primary care trust.

The panel found his behaviour demonstrated a "harmful, deep-seated attitudinal problem".
