A former clinical nurse manager who made modifications, in his favour, to his time and attendance record has been found guilty of professional misconduct by a nursing fitness-to-practise committee. An investigation by the Mater Private Network led to 290 allegations being put to Mr Valenton in September 2022, the inquiry had previously heard. At the hearing in July Mr Valenton admitted modifying some payment listings, but said that his actions were not inappropriate and did not amount to professional misconduct. The inquiry also heard that subsequent to being presented with the 290 allegations of the Mater Private Network investigation Mr Valenton agreed to make repayments of €20,000 to the Mater Private Network and completed these. He also resigned from Mater Private on that day.
