(a)-(b) According to the HPCSA they have no records of doctors employed and practicing in public hospitals or Clinics. It is important to appreciate that before a doctor can be employed in the public healthcare sector and paid in the public healthcare system he/she must be registered on the PERSAL system which would include a requirement that the doctor provides evidence of registration with the HPCSA as a doctor. Given that there are no reports of doctors without proper qualifications being employed in the public healthcare sector there would be no need to take action against any official in this regard.
