Mr Karl HATTOTUWA

The tribunal will inquire into the allegation that, between 12 May 2014 and 4 February 2021, Mr Hattotuwa failed to provide adequate clinical care to 14 patients. It is alleged that Mr Hattotuwa’s failings related variously to supervision, record keeping, advice, informed consent, seeking advice from colleagues, treatment and communication.

It is further alleged that in 2018, Mr Hattotuwa was dishonest when completing a funding request form for a procedure.

This reflects the allegation as it stands at the start of the hearing. The allegation may be amended as the hearing proceeds and when findings of fact are made by the tribunal.

All decisions are published online within 28 days of the conclusion of the hearing.
