An Irish general practitioner, Dr. Muhammad Iqbal, was allowed to continue working with disabled patients in Dublin despite facing sex offence charges in the UK. The doctor, based in Co Meath, was recently sentenced to 18 months in prison for sexually assaulting two female patients in England. While under investigation, he remained employed at Dublin’s St Michael House, a facility for vulnerable individuals, with a chaperone present during his consultations. The case has raised concerns about oversight in healthcare settings involving professionals under scrutiny. Authorities have not commented on the specific protocols followed during his continued employment.
