The
psychiatrist accused of mistreating young patients at Lake Alice Hospital in
the 1970s has effectively handed in his medical licence in Australia, the New
Zealand Herald reports today. Selwyn Leeks was today to face a disciplinary
hearing, accused of unprofessional conduct, in Melbourne. If he had been
found guilty, his medical registration could have been revoked. The hearing
followed a five-year investigation into complaints by 50 former patients in
Australia, of which 16 were found to have a case to answer. |
