The Health Professions Council of SA (HPCSA) is busy with yet another disciplinary process against Dr Wouter Basson, cardiologist and former head of the SA Defence Force’s chemical and biological warfare programme.
Netwerk24 reports that this was revealed in a parliamentary reply by Health Minister Aaron Motsoaledi to a question by EFF MP Carl Niehaus. Previous disciplinary proceedings ended in litigation up to the Constitutional Court.
Motsoaledi’s answer said the latest disciplinary procedure has been halted as Basson launched an application in the High Court for a permanent stay of proceedings. The HPCSA is opposing this application.
