The Health Ombudsman issued an interim prohibition order imposing restrictions on the provision of health services provided by Phillip Hugh McManus effective 17 August 2021.

The Health Ombudsman then varied the interim prohibition order by removing the restrictions and prohibiting the practitioner from providing any health service, paid or otherwise, in a clinical or non-clinical capacity, effective 27 August 2024.

This means the practitioner must not provide any health services at all.

Period of action or order

In accordance with section 73(2) of the Health Ombudsman Act 2013 (the Act), the order continues to have effect until the earliest of the following happens –

• the order ends under section 90H of the Act;
• QCAT sets aside the decision to issue the order on application by the practitioner for a review of the decision;
• the Health Ombudsman revokes the order under section 76 of the Act.
