In plain English

The type of case is recorded as Health.
Findings
The Fitness to Practise Committee recorded fitness to practise as impaired. The sanction recorded is a conditions of practice order for 12 months, with an interim conditions of practice order for 18 months. Because all matters were heard in private under Rule 19, the panel's reasoning on the facts, impairment and sanction is not in the public record.
