Probe into alleged fracas between hospital consultants

A HOSPITAL consultant placed on “administrative leave” following an alleged fracas with a fellow consultant will be the subject of a second probe.

Punches were allegedly thrown between the two men in a hospital corridor in early January. And it emerged last night that the consultant has been investigated previously for alleged harassment and bullying in the workplace.

The consultant is not currently working at the hospital concerned but continues to work in private practice. The whole matter is also the subject of a legal action.
