FS Health Department verify qualifications─── 13:47 Thu, 23 Apr 2015
Bloemfontein - State doctors in the Free State are up in arms after they received a notice from the provincial health department to urgently supply their qualifications.
Spokesperson for Health MEC Benny Malakoane, Tebogo Oepeng, confirmed that doctors were asked for their qualifications as part of a verification process.
Finance MEC Elzabé Rockman said in her budget speech earlier this month that her department just completed a headcount at the health department and a verification and vetting process is going to start at all government departments.
Oepeng says the notice is part of a process for the whole department.
Doctors feel the three day notice for handing in the documents is not sufficient.
