Bid to block report on racial profiling of black doctors by medical schemes launched

The application says the interim report — due to be publicly released at midday on Sunday at a press conference, makes “scathing allegations and findings in relation to Gems ”.

The applicants say Gems has not seen the interim report or been given an opportunity to comment on it. It was also not — in terms of the Medical Schemes Act or the investigation's terms of reference — supposed to be released to the public at the interim stage. The application — set to be heard on Sunday afternoon — says Gems was informed that the interim report contained findings “that some of the current procedures followed by the medical schemes to enforce their rights in terms of s59 of the MSA are unfair, that black providers are unfairly discriminated against on the grounds of race and that there is unfair discrimination in outcomes”.

The applicants said that should these findings be made public “without the schemes having been first afforded the right to consider the interim report”, it would “permanently tarnish the names and reputations of the schemes concerned”.

Why block it? I mean, if there's no racial profiling, then the report wouldn't have it in it and they wouldn't have to block it. Could the opposite be true?

Why would such a groundbreaking report be blocked? Oh wait...

Don’t block it, make it public. If there is discrimination, say it and don’t hide it.
