Qld: Defence consents to Patel trial

The defence team for JAYANT PATEL has consented to the American surgeon being committed
to stand trial on all charges he faces.

The consent came a short time ago .. after the prosecution closed its case in the Brisbane
Magistrates Court.

PATEL is expected to be committed later today to stand trial over the deaths of three
patients and 10 other charges relating to his time as director of surgery at Bundaberg
Base Hospital between 2003 and 2005.
