A general practitioner has been struck off the Register of
Medical Practitioners for a second time.
This after a disciplinary inquiry convened by the Singapore
Medical Council, found 58 year old Dr Tan Bin Seng to have
inappropriately prescribed hypnotic medication to his patients.
The last time such an action was taken against him was in 1993
when he was disciplined over similar charges.
He was restored to the Register some two years later after he
promised to better manage and treat his patients..
Dr Tan, who faced 21 charges of professional misconduct in this
latest disciplinary inquiry, contested all the charges.
He practices at Occupational Health Clinic located at Blk 537
Bedok North Street 3.
