Reply:
- Payments to contractors for the removal and disposal of waste to state hospitals and clinics is collated in Annexure A by province and by payment date. Facility data is not provided as service providers cover a range of facilities and are remunerated as such. Where specific payment dates are not available an annual cost is provided. Departments of Health in provinces do not deal with the disposal of laboratory waste.
- The amounts paid to contractors and outstanding amounts for the financial years 2013-14; 2014-2015 and from 1 April to October/November 2015 are also outlined in Annexure A.
