	Description:		One of the country's leading ADHD doctors has been charged with wrongly prescribing ritalin or similar drugs more than 5000 times. Auckland GP Tony Hanne is before the Health Practitioners Disciplinary Tribunal, charged with misconduct and malpractice for ignoring some of the rules about prescribing.
