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).
