    Neill Garrard

    The MPTS tribunal held a preliminary hearing to resolve procedural matters ahead of a substantive rehearing of the case against Dr Garrard scheduled for January 2026.

The tribunal also granted anonymity to both patient witnesses. No decision was made on the substantive allegations at this stage.
