Finding
Preliminary Matters:
Conducting the hearing in private
- Mr Anderson applied for the whole hearing to be conducted in private on grounds that the concerns relate to the Registrant’s health and so a private hearing was appropriate to protect her private life.
- Mr Shadenbury supported the application.
- The Panel has followed the guidance set out in the HCPTS Practice Note on “Conducting Hearings in Private”, and it has received and accepted legal advice. The Panel is satisfied that the concerns in this matter relate to the Registrant’s mental health issues and that to safeguard her private life, it is appropriate for the whole hearing to be conducted in private.
Order
ORDER: The Registrar is directed to suspend the name of Ms Bethan White from the Register for a period of 12 months from the date that this order comes into effect (“the Operative Date”).
