Medical inquiry told consultant is ‘caring, diligent’

Expert witnesses appeared before the Medical Council inquiry yesterday as the case into Dr Mohammad Ilyas Khan continued.

Dr Khan, from Tipperary, faces allegations of poor professional performance, specifically in relation to a two-year-old boy, ‘BT’, who was born on June 15, 2012.

BT’s mother, Noelle Tobin, made the complaint against Dr Khan, who was practising as a locum consultant paediatrician in South Tipperary General Hospital, Clonmel at the time of the baby’s birth.
