Mr Sajjad Ahmed

Application for the hearing to be held in private

1. Ms Sampson on behalf of the HCPC applied for the hearing to be held in private to protect the private life of the Registrant as matters relating to the health of the Registrant would be referred to.

2. The Panel was referred to the HCPTS Practice Note on ‘Conducting Hearings in Private’, which states that as a general rule hearings are to be in public in accordance with the ‘open justice’ principle. However, in certain circumstances it is in the interests of justice for the hearing to take place wholly or partially in private to protect the private life of the Registrant where matters relating to health and / or private life are to be referred to.

3. The Panel noted that previous hearings had been held in private and considered the representations made. The Panel determined that it was appropriate for the hearing
