We also asked Dr. Allen about the case of the driver at the Western Regional Hospital. He's the one who had an inappropriate relationship with a woman who was charged for murder, but being assessed for her fitness to stand trial in the psychiatric ward. Since then, the woman has been judged fit to stand trial and is no longer in the ward. But the driver, who is circumstantially accused of committing a very grave violation of a vulnerable woman is back at work. Dr. Allen commented on it:
Dr. Peter Allen
"After the suspension I also understand the driver is back on duty again. I understand that the driver has recruited legal representation and the investigation into exactly what happened is continuing not only with the driver but as you rightly suggest with the other staff who may or may not have facilitated this. I think it's worth noting that the driver denies the allegations against him."
Dr. Allen said a pregnancy conducted on the female patient came back negative.
