The regulator’s term: interim order imposed

What does “interim restrictions imposed” mean?

An interim order is a precautionary restriction imposed before the regulator's investigation is complete. It is not a finding of fault — the underlying allegations have not yet been adjudicated.

Concerning Marius McGovern, dentist (General Dental Council 70973).

Decision date: 18 December 2025 · Hearing started 18 December 2025

The Dental Professionals Hearings Service published an Interim Orders Committee decision for Marius McGovern. The committee continued the interim conditions under an 18-month order. This is an interim, precautionary decision while the GDC process continues, and the public detail page does not record final findings about the underlying concerns.

Charges
