British-banned doctor can work here

A BRITISH psychiatrist banned from practice in Britain has been cleared of any wrongdoing here opening the way for him to apply for work.

Dr John Harding-Price, reported to the Irish Medical Council (IMC) following an allegation he had acted unprofessionally in a Tipperary hospital, is free to apply for work in hospitals or set up in private practice in Ireland, if he chooses.

A hospital manager reported Dr Harding-Price to the IMC when he received an allegation in November 2001 he acted unprofessionally while working in St Luke’s Psychiatric Hospital in Clonmel.
