High Court confirms Woods penalty

The High Court has declined to order that the Medical Council publish the report of its inquiry into Dr Moira Woods, relating to her diagnosis of child sexual abuse in a number of cases. The Council has already said however that it will publish a report of the inquiry, at the conclusion of the proceedings.

Today in court, the finding of misconduct and the penalty against Dr Woods was confirmed, following an application by the Medical Council.

However, as the court deemed the proceedings now to be closed in the case, it did not support a separate application by one of the families involved to have the Council ordered to publish the report of the inquiry
