Doctor suspended from practise by High Court over prescribing

The judge, having heard evidence in February, decided that undertakings the doctor was prepared to give would satisfactorily address the situation.

These breaches arose because twice after he gave the February undertakings he provided two repeat prescriptions, containing painkillers, opioids and benzodiazepines . Dr Z said the patient had a history of back surgery and complained of back pain and nerve impingement. He issued adjusted prescriptions, on hospital notepaper, for her following a physical examination of her in the hospital.In a ruling suspending Dr Z, which was given from the bench in April and published on Friday, the judge found he was clearly in breach of the undertakings when he wrote prescriptions for the patient on February 17th and March 20th last.
