The three doctors whose submissions helped convicted fraudster Schabir Shaik secure medical parole will know on Monday if there would be a formal probe into their conduct.

The Health Professions Council of SA (HPCSA) is expected to announce its decision in Pretoria at 11am.

The Durban-Westville parole board met the doctors before deciding to grant Shaik medical parole in March.

They claim he was terminally ill.

Shaik received a 15-year prison term when he was convicted of fraud and corruption in 2005. He only served two-and-a-half years in prison, with most of that time in hospital.
