Question NW1573 to the Minister of Health
22 October 2018 - NW1573
Moteka, Mr PG to ask the Minister of Health
Whether, with reference to his reply to question 1300 on 7 May 2018, the Remuneration Committee (REMCO) have the authority to recruit; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, who did REMCO recruit?
Reply:
Yes, the Remuneration Committee (REMCO) of the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) has the authority to recruit executive managers in consultation with Council. So the power to employ rests with Council. REMCO is a sub-committee of Council. The Council can however delegate such powers to the Registrar, in terms of Section 12(1) of the Health Professions Act, 1974 (Act No. 56 of 1974).
END.
