GP in prescriptions probe will comply with suspension
A Co Wicklow-based doctor has promised under oath to comply with a High Court order prohibiting her from practising as a GP until a fitness-to-practise process by the Irish Medical Council concludes.
Dr Regine Grah, a GP from Co Wicklow, has assured a High Court that she will comply with a suspension of her GP practice. The suspension was ordered following concerns raised by the Irish Medical Council about her continued practice and prescription writing despite lacking professional indemnity insurance. The council had issued a public warning on August 7th about the potential patient safety risks associated with Dr Grah's high levels of prescription of certain drugs.
Despite claiming ignorance of the suspension until August 7th, Dr Grah stated she would indeed comply with the orders, having already closed her clinic. She expressed a desire to appeal the decision if grounds exist to do so.
