On page 8 (4.5), Mr J Gunda (ID; Northern Cape) suggested that the National Department of Health should conduct a forensic investigation on the continued escalation of costs in North West hospitals.

The Chairperson asked Members to make recommendations so that they could be included in the report.

Mr A Lees (DA) suggested the warning should be directed to the MEC concerned, not to the department.

Mr C De Beer (ANC; Northern Cape) indicated the warning should be rather directed to the head of the department and MEC. Both should be named and shamed.
