Family GP faces misconduct hearing

A FAMILY doctor could be struck off the medical register for allegedly supplying hundreds of euro worth of prescription drugs to known criminals after they subjected her to a campaign of physical and verbal intimidation.

Dr Iwona Kulczyk-Repec who comes from Poland and now lives in Cloyne, Co Cork, is due before the Medical Council’s fitness to practice committee today on a series of professional misconduct charges.

The Medical Council has declined to comment on the case, other than to confirm it will be heard today and tomorrow.
