6 claims against doctor upheld by council

A consultant paediatrician has been found guilty of allegations of poor professional performance at a Medical Council hearing in Dublin.

Six out of the seven allegations against locum consultant paediatrician Dr Mohammad Ilyas Khan, from Tipperary, were found proven as to fact yesterday.

The allegations were in relation to the treatment of ‘BT’, who was born on June 15, 2012. The boy’s mother, Noelle Tobin, made the complaints against Dr Khan, who was practising as a locum consultant paediatrician in South Tipperary General Hospital, Clonmel, at the time of the birth.
