SENIOR GHA CONSULTANT CLEARED

A senior consultant in the Health Authority, who has been suspended on full pay for the last three years after another colleague employed by the GHA made accusations against him, has been cleared of all of these accusations by a Medical Board set up to look into all the alleged wrongdoings on the part of the consultant.

It appears that the management of the GHA ignored the performance and record of this consultant over a period of twenty years, preferring to take seriously the accusations levelled against him by an individual who used to cover for this consultant when he was away on leave. The management of the GHA suspended the consultant in question on full pay pending investigation of the accusations.

During this time the consultant has suffered a tremendous personal ordeal and has had to fight off these ghostly fairy stories told about him in order to protect and preserve his professional reputation and the high esteem in which he has always been held by his patients in Gibraltar.

After a very long and tedious journey he has now been cleared of all charges, if one can call them that, and he is ready to resume his professional career. The individual who made the accusations against the consultant is no longer an employee of the Health Authority.
