Registration History:
At a review hearing on 1 April 2025 the Interim Orders Committee varied and continued Mr Chen's conditions, originally imposed on 8 May 2024, for the remainder of the 12 month order.
This interim order is due to expire on 07 May 2025 and the GDC will be applying to the High Court for an extension of it. In the event that such an application is granted, the order will be reviewed in accordance with the GDC's statutory requirements.
