Fylde GP Dr Kevin Ross found guilty of lying about his working hours during bankruptcy claim
Doctor Kevin Ross lied about the number of hours he was working each week while giving a statement to the official receivers in relation to his insolvency in September 2014.
He denied a charge of knowingly and wilfully making a false declaration, but did not take the opportunity to give evidence at a trial at Preston's Sessions House Court.

Earlier the court heard the 45-year-old, of Oxford Road, St Annes, had signed a record of an interview with insolvency practitioners declaring he worked eight hours a week, earning around £800 a month - saying this was the minimum required to maintain his professional status.
He indicated the information was "true to the best of his knowledge and belief" and signed a declaration under the perjury act, but subsequent records showed he worked 124 hours in August 2014 and 176 hours in September 2014.
