No impairment found
The MPTS tribunal found that Dr Anigala's fitness to practise is no longer impaired by reason of misconduct. At this review hearing it considered a suspension imposed after he dishonestly claimed to have contacted a neurosurgery team about a patient, and made a false retrospective note, following the patient's discharge and later death. The tribunal was satisfied he had completed targeted remediation, including on record keeping, developed his insight and posed a negligible risk of repetition. It concluded he was no longer impaired and directed that his existing suspension run until it expired.
