The first in a series of inquests into the deaths of Dr Michael Watt’s patients has been told while the consultant neurologist was highly regarded by the medical profession, and believed he was a specialist in movement disorders, “he was not”.
Dr John McKinley was giving evidence at Banbridge Court during the inquest into the death of Barbara Perkins (72) from Ballymena on July 15, 2018.
