Miss Barnfather said: “He was aware she was contacting patients and requesting money from those loyal patients. Money was being requested on the basis that Mrs A was claiming Dr Jones desperately needed money.”He took inadequate steps to prevent the breaches being repeated and furthermore went on to behave in a wholly dishonest way in respect of his finances,” Miss Barnfather said.The hearing was told Mrs A got hold of a confidential letter written to Dr Jones from a surgeon about a patient who had been confirmed with cancer. She altered the letter so that her own name was used in place of the patient’s, to try to obtain money from her former husband.The alleged scam was uncovered when the letter was mistakenly faxed to the London jewellers Tiffany’s, which returned it to the surgeon who first wrote it.Miss Barnfather said Dr Jones had been a busy and successful practitioner. “There were no concerns about this doctor’s conduct until into the 1990s.

There were queries as to breaches of confidentiality and latterly his honesty.”She said the lapses in his conduct appeared to have begun after he started a relationship with the woman.The hearing was also told that Dr Jones was cautioned by Thames Valley Police over forging the signature of his divorced first wife to cash an insurance policy. He admitted doing it, saying he wanted to avoid the “awkwardness” of having to contact her.Dr Jones denies serious professional misconduct. The doctor, who lives with Mrs A and her three children in Stoke Poges, Buckinghamshire, could be struck off the medical register if he is found guilty.The case was adjourned to a date to be arranged.. As the Kinks prepared for a major US tour in May 1965, Ray Davies’s wife, Rasa, was in hospital awaiting delivery of their baby.

Excluded for being a bloke, Davies paced the lino at home and tinkled on the piano for distraction. The next day, Rasa gave birth to their daughter and Davies had written a lullaby for her, “I Go to Sleep” Within days the band took off for America. “Before the tour, I had gone to a small studio in Denmark Street and made a very rough demo of the song, which I had sent to Peggy Lee,” he says. On the sleeve of the first Kinks album, Ray cites the veteran jazz singer as one of his favourite performers. Backed by a studio orchestra under the conductor Sid Feller, she cut “I Go to Sleep” for her 1965 album Then Was Then – Now Is Now!. Despite the great lady’s vocal talents, it’s a lacklustre affair: Peggy’s delivery is as brusque as a reprimand It was, however, a feather in the cap for Ray. “I Go to Sleep” might have snoozed off the radar had it not been for Sonny and Cher, who, probably thanks to Davies’s manager, came by the song and included it on their first album.

It later enjoyed a mid-Sixties Beat makeover from outfits such as the Truth and the Applejacks, but with little chart success.The Pretenders’ 1981 reading, recorded while Chrissie Hynde and Ray Davies were mixing music with pleasure, is, by contrast, terrific. The plaintive horn riff and distant guitar get to the heart of the song. Hynde claimed she had heard neither Peggy Lee’s original nor Cher’s copy before recording her version. “The song publishers for about the first three Kinks albums sent me a cassette of a demo made by Ray Davies in 1965, with him playing piano The Kinks never recorded it,” Hynde says. “It’s a perfect song and I was delighted to have access to it. I was just hoping they wouldn’t be offended.” And did Ray approve? “I don’t know He’s never actually said.”.
