Surgeon’s claim against HSE over being placed on leave adjourned

A consultant surgeon’s action against the HSE arising out of an investigation into multiple allegations concerning the standard of care he provided to patients has been adjourned to allow for implementation of a settlement agreement.

He rejects claims about the standard of care he has provided to his patients and objected to being put on administrative leave. He claimed he was denied fair procedures and the HSE acted in breach of contract by putting him on administrative leave. Peter Ward SC, for the HSE, said his side consented to the adjournment. Had the case proceeded, it would have raised complex issues and would have been lengthy, he said.
