Question NW263 to the Minister of Health
06 September 2024 - NW263
Clarke, Ms M to ask the Minister of Health
Whether, with reference to the case HPCSA - APPEAL: DR T MASILELA / MRS KB COLE REF NO:MP 0874035 / 230622-007066, the Health Professions Council of South Africa has reached an outcome regarding Mrs Cole’s appeal; if not, on what date will the matter be finalised; if so, what (a) was the outcome of the appeal and (b) are the relevant details of the finding?
Reply:
According to the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA):
- The Appeals Committee has declined to consider the appeal and resolved to refer the matter back to the Preliminary Committee of Inquiry for reconsideration because Mrs. Cole introduced new evidence/information that did not serve and was never considered by the Preliminary Committee of Inquiry. The Committee is in the process of seeking the respondent’s response to the new information before the matter serves before the Preliminary Committee of Inquiry for reconsideration. This matter will serve before the Preliminary Committee of Inquiry once in receipt of the response from the respondent or should the respondent fail to respond within fourteen days after receipt of this new evidence/information.
- Not applicable at this time.
END.
