    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. Dr Garrard originally faced allegations of sexually motivated misconduct towards two patients, and a 2023 tribunal found the allegations not proved. An appeal upheld by the High Court directed the case to be reheard. At this hearing, the tribunal decided that evidence transcripts from the original 2023 hearing could be used instead of requiring the two patient witnesses to give live evidence again. The tribunal also granted anonymity to both patient witnesses. No decision was made on the substantive allegations at this stage.

The tribunal found his fitness to practise impaired and imposed a nine-month suspension, directing a review hearing. The tribunal accepted that Dr Wayawa had acted out of a misguided attempt to help others rather than for personal gain, had made full admissions, and had shown genuine remorse and insight.
