Medical watchdog launches inquiry into Burgess affair
The NSW Health Care Complaints Commission is investigating media reports linking doctors to the NRL coach's alleged misconduct
Any doctors linked to allegations of serious misconduct by NRL player-turned-coach Sam Burgess will be investigated by the NSW medical watchdog.
The state’s Health Care Complaints Commission confirmed on Thursday it had established an inquiry in response to media reports naming Mr Burgess, and other information.
It said the inquiry would allow it to examine all the allegations raised and the role and actions of any health providers who might be involved.
A report in the Sydney Morning Herald suggested South Sydney’s club doctor Dr Andrew McDonald was the focus of the inquiry.
