This comes after the department was informed by the Health Professions Council of SA (HPCSA) that the workers had been deregistered - after failing to meet the required standards to remain active members of the council.
JOHANNESBURG - The Limpopo Health Department says it has been forced to terminate the employment of 21 emergency medical officers, after it was informed by the Health Professions Council of SA that they had been deregistered - after failing to meet the required standards to remain active members of the council.
Forty six more emergency medical officers have also been requested to provide proof of their registration with the HPSCA to the department, after the results of an audit on the registration status of EMS personnel were received, failing which their services may be terminated. The department says it had hoped that the matter between the council and the employees would be settled without having to terminate their employment.
