Despite reports to the contrary, Dr McGinity said he had heard nothing from the council.

Meanwhile, he confirmed that he would not be appealing against his second suspension.

"We just want to get on with it," he said.

He said he had waited all day yesterday for the council to make an offer for his conditional return to work.

"They were supposed to offer me a new undertaking, but I haven't seen it yet," he said.

Last week the council signalled it could offer a variation on the suspension where Dr McGinity could treat dying patients and work under supervision between 9am and 5pm.

On Sunday, upwards of 300 people protested against the doctor's suspension in front of the Scottsdale District High School.

Health Minister Lara Giddings was heckled from the crowd, but visited Dr McGinity at his home afterwards.

Dr McGinity said his concerns were for his patients because he was confident that he could fight the council's allegations.

The Health Department is the principal complainant, but Dr McGinity said his 3000-strong practice had seen eight different locums in the eight weeks since he was suspended for the first time on March 27.

"The rally on Sunday was really just asking for a return to normal services. A doctor leaves on Friday and another arrives on Monday morning," he said.

And the terms of his suspension mean Dr McGinity cannot provide briefing to the visiting doctors.
