It was reported on Monday that SAMRC had written to the health department's director-general Dr Anban Pillay stating that it apologised for recent comments made by Gray in the media.
Gray had been quoted by News24 as saying that Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital had seen increased cases of malnutrition in children.
Gray's comments were widely criticised and labelled as dangerous. Following that GroundUp reported that Pillay had written to SAMRC requesting that an investigation be conducted into Gray's comments as they had made false allegations against the government. When Independent Media approached the council to confirm whether the contents of the letter were true and whether staff members had been barred from speaking to the media, the council's head of corporate and communications division, Alfred Thutloa, said this was not true.
