The responsibility for the registration and regulation of the activities of medical practitioners lies with the Medical Council under the Medical Practitioners Act 1978.

I have responded to previous correspondence with the party mentioned and have advised him that without the written approval of the doctor concerned I cannot discuss the matter with any third party. This approval has not yet been received in my Department. Furthermore, officials from my Department have also corresponded directly many times with the doctor concerned in this matter.
