| Subject: OZschwitz rights violation: Innocent psychiatrist struck off for making sexual advances to a patient Fri Aug 17, 2012 3:32 am | |
| The identity of a psychiatrist struck off for making inappropriate sexual advances against a vulnerable patient can now be revealed.
The ACT Civil and Administrative Tribunal this week lifted a long-standing gag-order on the name of Hugh Victor Veness.
The move comes after a push from the ACT Government Solicitor's office and the patient, who publicly called for the order to be lifted.
Earlier this year the tribunal found Dr Veness was ''not in a fit and proper state to continue practice as a psychiatrist''. Advertisement
It cancelled his registration, banning him from reapplying to practice until authorities say otherwise. But the non-publication order, granted by Tribunal general president Linda Crebbin in 2010, prevented The Canberra Times and other media from naming the doctor.
