Suspended pathologist still being investigated in Britain

THE latest pathologist to have his work examined by the HSE is still under investigation in Britain and has been suspended until the outcome of the investigation is known.

Question marks first arose about this doctor’s work when doctors in Britain contacted colleagues in Galway to inform them that he was under investigation by the General Medical Council (GMC).

The HSE and HIQA were informed of the GMC investigation in December and the Royal College of Physician’s Faculty of Pathology sought a second opinion on work he carried out during his time working in Ireland. The pathologist worked at UCHG from February 2004 to March 2004. The GMC suspended his registration last September.
