Sometimes licensing bodies –
in addition to deciding on disciplinary actions –
slip in a little zinger about a person's actions.
• "Licensee [dentist] did
not contest the charge of submitting a reregistration
application in which she stated that she had completed
required continuing education, when, in fact,
she had not." (Our italics.)
• "Licensee [dentist] admitted
to the charge that he failed to use scientifically
accepted infection prevention techniques appropriate
to the profession of dentistry." (Our italics.)
• From late 2005: "The
member has been suspended since 2003 for nonpayment
of fees. He was required to appear before a Panel
of the complaints Committee to receive an oral caution.
However, he was unable to appear due to work commitments,
and the matter was rescheduled. The member did not
attend the rescheduled caution. Later that day, the
[licensing body] received a fax from the member indicating
that bad weather had prevented him from attending.
However, evidence provided by the [licensing
body] indicated that there was no weather event
relevant to travelling to the meeting." (Our
italics.)
