Accused Dr Fails To Attend Medical Tribunal
A Portlaoise based hospital doctor has failed to attend a Medical Council fitness to practise inquiry into an allegation against him.
In his absence, the inquiry found that Mirghany El-Mana failed to comply with a High Court order attaching conditions to his continued registration as a doctor, following a previous Medical Council inquiry in 2010, which found him guilty on four counts of professional misconduct.
It followed a complaint by a Health Service Executive manager.
After that inquiry, Dr El-Mana was required to undertake a course in professionalism and forward a copy of the results within six months.
Today's inquiry has heard that Dr El-Mana supplied a certificate of completion of a course in March 2012 after the deadline.
The fitness to practise committee will make a recommendation on sanction to a full meeting of the Medical Council at a later date.
