Doctor Suspended Over Prescribing Patterns | Cork News

A Wicklow GP’s medical license is suspended after the Medical Council uncovered alarming patterns of high-dose, high-volume prescribing of controlled substances — including sedatives and benzodiazepines — without clear plans for tapering. A pharmacist’s complaint revealed repeated prescriptions to multiple pharmacies and overlapping doses for 14 patients, some with known substance abuse issues.

The suspension remains in place while a full fitness-to-practise investigation unfolds — but Doctor Grah retains the right to appeal.
