THE Health Care Complaints Commission prosecuted Dr Kwong Yiu (Kelvin) Lo, a medical practitioner, before the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal, determining that his registration be cancelled and that he may not apply for a review of the order for two years.
Lo was found by the tribunal to be guilty of unsatisfactory professional conduct and professional misconduct, related to inappropriate prescribing of Schedule 8 and Schedule 4D drugs, including prescribing drugs of addiction to drug dependent patients, and his failure to maintain adequate medical records.
