Hill-Lewis, Mr GG to ask the Minister of Finance

Whether, with reference to the announcement by the Member of the Executive Council for Health in KwaZulu-Natal on 2 June 2020 that the province had received an additional R1,5 billion allocation from the Government for the quarantine and isolation site that the province established at the Clairwood Hospital in Durban, any other province has received any similar additional allocations from the Government; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details in each case?

Reply:

  • In terms of Treasury Regulations section 6.6.3, the relevant Provincial Treasury must table an adjustments budget within 30 days of the tabling of the National Adjustments Budget. Therefore, Provinces have until the 24thJuly 2020 to table their adjustments budget, and the requested information will only be available then. This information should be obtained directly from Provinces as the responsibility to determine specific provincial allocations for quarantine and isolation sites vest with each province in terms of their own budget determination processes.
