Neary Report doctors face probe

THREE doctors named in the Neary report are to have their work practices reviewed by the Medical Council’s Fitness to Practice Committee.

The decision was made following a two-day meeting of the council where they reviewed Judge Maureen Harding Clark’s report into the high level of Caesarean hysterectomies at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, in Drogheda, Co Louth, over a 25-year period.

Medical Council President, Dr John Hillery said last night that the committee had been asked to review the doctors’ actions - as highlighted in the report - and to seek the doctors’ own observations
