The Supreme Court of Appeal dismissed an appeal about hospital admission privileges for a medical practitioner. The judgment says the privileges ended when the practitioner was suspended and disqualified from practising under the Health Professions Act, and that a new application would be needed after reinstatement. It also records that the appeal was dismissed with costs.
This may be relevant to hospitals, medical practitioners and healthcare groups dealing with admission privileges and HPCSA suspension issues.
