Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children
Regulation of Cosmetic Surgery: Discussion

Ms Patricia Eadie:
Yes. Earlier, the Deputy asked to whom patients complain. A patient who has a complaint about any doctor takes it to the Irish Medical Council, IMC. Previously, the fly-in-fly-out doctors - they fly in to do an operation and fly out again - did not have to be registered with the IMC. Although they are now registered with the IMC, in our experience they do not always come back to address complaints.
