A Fitness to Practise Panel that sat on 17-19 August has found the allegations proved that Iestyn Owen, a domiciliary care worker, reported to work under the influence of cannabis which was detected in a work based drug test.
The Panel found Iestyn Owen’s current fitness to practise was impaired and imposed a removal order which means he can no longer work in a social care regulated role in Wales.
Iestyn Owen has the right of appeal to the Care Standards Tribunal within 28 days.
A copy of the panel’s full reasons are available on request.
