NHS doctor denies supplying prescription medication illegally and spying on medical records

An NHS doctor is to stand trial accused of supplying prescription-only drugs to people without prescriptions and accessing medical records without consent.

Neitu Jeyasingh is accused of illegally handing out 12 different types of medication over a five-year-period.

The locum general practitioner, who is registered to work with all health boards in Scotland, is also accused of stalking a man and a woman.

Prosecutors claim the 52-year-old, who works regularly in the Highlands and Islands and in prisons, committed the offences between August 2018 and August 2023.

It's alleged that, between August and July 2023, she supplied antibiotics Azithromycin, Doxycycline, Clarithomycin, Trimethoprim, Co-amoxiclav and Flucloxacillin.

She is also said to have given out Prochlorperazine, which is used to treat nausea, migraines, schizophrenia, psychosis and anxiety, and diarrhea medication Loperamide.

Court papers allege she also supplied irritable bowel syndrome medication Mebeverine, and acid reflux and heartburn medication Omeprazole.

And a jury is set to hear claims that she also dished out Diazepam, which is commonly sold as Valium, and painkillers Tramadol and Codeine.

The alleged offence was committed in Paisley, Renfrewshire, and elsewhere.

Jeyasingh, of Dunfermline, Fife, denies breaking Regulation 255 of the Human Medicines Regulations 2012 and Section 2 (2) of the European Communities Act 2017.

She pleaded not guilty to the charge when she appeared at Paisley Sheriff Court today, Friday, December 12, 2025.

She also pleaded not guilty to a stalking charge, brought under Section 39(1) of the Criminal Justice and Licensing (Scotland) Act 2010.

It is alleged that she engaged in a course of conduct which caused Andrew Millar and Katie Sherlock-Miller fear or alarm.

She is said to have repeatedly attended various home and work addresses uninvited, repeatedly entered a street in Paisley without permission, and repeatedly sent messages, videos and photos to Andrew.

She is further accused of repeatedly leaving unwanted gifts and medication, repeatedly accessing their medical records without consent, and attending one of Andrew's medical appointments uninvited

Defence solicitor Terry Gallanagh asked for a trial to be fixed in the case.

Sheriff Bruce Erroch KC adjourned the case until next year for a trial to take place.
