GP failed to take adequate notes on patient

A GP appearing before a Medical Council inquiry over her care of a female patient who later died of advanced colon cancer was yesterday found guilty of poor professional performance.

A number of the allegations, however, faced by Dr Intan Besri, of Dublin 13, were not proven beyond reasonable doubt.

Dr Besri, a general practitioner working as a locum at the College Gate Clinic at Ballymun Rd, Glasnevin, Dublin, faced a number of allegations in relation to Breeda Fayne, who was seen by the GP on two occasions between February and April 2012.
