The Royal Cornwall Hospitals Trust have now made further admissions liability in respect of the action of Dr Iuliu Stan. They have previously accepted that Dr Stan prescribing and administering rectal medication was negligent but did not admit liability for other intimate procedures and treatment (such as rectal examinations and inserting a urinary catheter).
We challenged the hospital’s initial position, and we are pleased to report that they have now admitted liability in respect of patients to whom Dr. Stan prescribed and administered rectal medication. Liability has also been admitted for patients to whom Dr. Stan inserted and/or extracted a urinary catheter.
Furthermore, the hospital has admitted liability for patients upon whom Dr. Stan performed any of the following: a rectal examination, a testicular examination, or any other examination, treatment, or touching of the genital area.
Gary Walker, Head of Abuse team at Enable Law, welcomes the Hospital’s further admission which will mean all that all those affected by Dr Stan’s actions will be treated fairly regardless of what treatment they were subjected to. He is concerned that there remain many unanswered questions and nor have we been given any reassurance that lessons have been learned and what has or will change to make sure something like this never happens again.
He remains committed to ensuring all those affected are treated fairly and receive proper compensation and the Hospital agrees to properly and thoroughly investigate how Dr Stan was able to do what he did for many years and even after he was disciplined for giving rectal medication to a child.
