Broadcaster Ciara Kelly has called for the Medical Council to review how it deals with complaints after she was targeted over her support for the HPV vaccine

Image: Newstalk Image: Newstalk BROADCASTER DR CIARA Kelly has called the Medical Council’s process for investigating complaints “deeply flawed” after she was again cleared of any malpractice over her support for the HPV vaccine.

However, Kelly has told TheJournal.ie that the action against her should never have gotten that far and she chose not to fight the most recent complaint. Kelly said that it was her “belief that the system within the Medical Council is deeply flawed and needs to be reviewed”. Ive had 4 Med Council complaints frm ppl Ive NEVER met or treated ALL regarding my support for HPV vaccine. I believe MC should reform sys wrt vexatious complaints. lts poss to be fair to patients w gen complaints whilst also caring for well being of Docs.https://t.co/T6szg5YmrAKelly said that the investigations were a “source of genuine and considerable stress to doctors”.
