Mathys, Ms L to ask the Minister of Health

Whether he has been informed of faulty elevator lights, faulty air conditioning equipment and exposed wires at Themba Hospital in Mbombela, Mpumalanga; if so, what steps is his department taking to address these issues?

Reply:

According to the Mpumalanga Provincial Department of Health, the bulbs in the lifts are often vandalised or removed for theft. As a temporary measure, the Department has installed the fluorescent bulbs to avoid theft as they are not prone to theft.

Air-conditioning equipment are out of order. However the maintenance contractor is on-site and is being assisted by the manufacturer of air-cons (Samsung) to install new parts.

END.
