Doctor to be removed from register

AN IRISH Medical Council (IMC) fitness to practice committee has decided to remove a radiologist from the doctors’ register for failing to co-operate with an inquiry into the quality of her work in Britain.

Chairman Danny O’Hare said Dr Nafisa Paruk had failed to comply with written notices requiring her to supply the council’s preliminary proceedings committee with her observations and comments about a complaint made to the General Medical Council (GMC) in Britain.

Dr O’Hare said the South African doctor also failed to respond to letters from the Irish Medical Council in relation to the complaint and that the committee would be recommending to council that her registration be cancelled.
