“This suspension is effective immediately and will remain in place pending the finalisation of the disciplinary process. Furthermore, an investigator has been appointed to conduct a full and thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding this incident,” the statement said.

The investigator has been tasked with expediting this process to ensure a swift resolution.

It further said the assaulted patient has been assessed.

“In parallel with the internal process, we can confirm that the patient has been assessed by a clinical psychologist and is in a stable emotional and mental state. We reiterate our commitment to a safe, respectful, and dignified environment for all patients,’ the Department said.
