According to the South African Nursing Council (SANC), the case was reported to them in February 2022, however the Council experienced difficulty accessing the records from the Hospital. The matter was discussed at the Preliminary Investigating Committee in terms of section 47(3) of the Nursing Act, 2005 (Act No. 33 of 2005), which found that there was a case to be answered and in terms of section 47(3)(b) of the Act. The matter was therefore referred to the Professional Conduct Committee for hearing (PCC). The matter has been set down to be heard at the next PCC.
