A hospital consultant is under investigation over comments he made about a Muslim surgeon who wore a headscarf in an operating theatre.

Dr Vladislav Rogozov, a consultant anaesthetist at Sheffield's Royal Hallamshire Hospital, spoke about the incident in an online blog.

He said he had confronted the unnamed surgeon when he realised she intended to keep the scarf on during surgery.

Hospital chiefs would not confirm if Dr Rogozov had been suspended.
