14 November 2022 - NW3871
Clarke, Ms M to ask the Minister of Health
What steps will his department take to implement consequence management measures for officials found to have contributed to his department’s underspending of R1,3 billion in the 2021-22 financial year?
Reply:
a) The Department did not implement consequence management measures on officials for the underspending of R771 334 000 during 2021/2022 financial year. The underspending was due to moratorium placed by National Treasury which resulted in delays on procurement of services including cleaning services, security systems, other tools of trade amongst others.
