Foreign docs in 60% of conduct hearings
Figures supplied by the council up to December 15 show that out of 36 inquiries held in both public and private last year, 22 related to non-Irish doctors.
In addition, of 13 doctors against whom findings were made and publicised on the council’s website in 2010, 12 related to non-Irish doctors — all of whom were found guilty of professional misconduct.
