The High Court has backed the Medical Council's decision to suspend a Co Kildare GP for refusing to send his patients for Covid-19 tests and failing to adhere to public health measures. 

Dr Gerard Waters, of Whitethorn Clinic, Celbridge, Co Kildare, was suspended from the Register of Medical Practitioners at the beginning of March.
