Disgraced breast surgeon Ian Paterson jailed for 15 years 

Breast surgeon Ian Paterson has been jailed for 15 years after carrying out unnecessary cancer operations. Paterson, 59, was convicted over operations on nine women and one man, but there were hundreds of other victims. He was found guilty of 17 counts of wounding with intent and three of unlawful wounding, after his trial. The NHS has paid almost £10m in compensation to his victims, while more than 600 private patients will pursue civil action against him later this year.
