A MEDICAL watchdog asked a doctor to explain why he falsified patients' records, at a fitness-to-practise hearing yesterday.
Dr Farhoud Wadih Moujaes, who was based at The Surgery, Manchester Road, Haslingden, had admitted altering a child's records to justify giving him an MMR jab.
He also admitted a second allegation of changing a patient's computerised records when he appeared at the General Medical Council hearing in Manchester.
Dr Moujaes, who trained in Italy, was cross-examined by Sarah Pritchard on behalf of the GMC.
The GMC is looking into claims that he amended computerised records of two patients.
Dr Moujaes admitted that on October 24, 2002, he went into a patient's computersied medical records at The Surgery and altered information about a mother requesting that she did not want her child to be given an MMR jab.
Later the same year Dr Moujaes admitted a further allegation of changing a patient's computerised records after a complaint was made to The Surgery.
If the panel finds against the doctor they will have every sanction available to them, with the lower sanctions being something like a reprimand, which stays on your record, through to suspension from the register or the most serious being erasure from the register.
