A senior psychiatrist, who practised in Edinburgh, initially treated Iain Wares for alcoholism, but then diagnosed him as a 'pederast' - a paedophile with a specific interest in boys.
An accused former teacher was supported in a bid to adopt a child by a psychiatrist who believed he could "cure him" - and intervened to stop him being sacked from Fettes College over abuse allegations, an inquiry has heard.
Medical notes included "keep away from drink and young boys", and "inclination to young boys". Permission was given by the inquiry's chair earlier this year to identify Wares, 83, who was previously a "protected person" and was referred to by a pseudonym. Fettes College was apparently unaware of claims of "indecent practices" in South Africa, and "temper outbursts" and allegations of sexual abuse at Edinburgh Academy when Wares was hired in 1973. However, a mother complained in 1975 after her son allegedly was touched, and the previous history came to light, believed to be through the NHS psychiatric services.
Robert said there was "no obligation" to report concerns within the NHS, and that it would have been considered a breach of patient confidentiality in the 1970s.

NHS Lothian has been contacted for comment.
