The Health Department inquiry was launched three weeks ago after the wife of a hospital practitioner came forward to allege that Mr Doyle sexually harassed her at a Royal Melbourne Hospital black tie dinner in 2016.

Sources close to the investigation have indicated that the probe has moved beyond the original complainant, although the department and the hospital declined to comment on the ongoing investigation.

Mr Doyle resigned as lord mayor and chairman of Melbourne Health last Sunday evening, as exclusively reported by heraldsun.com.au.

Mr Doyle, who has been hospitalised, has consistently denied any wrongdoing but it is believed he has not responded formally to a council investigation led by Ian Freckelton, QC, nor the to the Health Department probe.

A spokeswoman for Mr Doyle said she could not comment as no advice had been received about any other person coming forward in the investigation.
