Question NW1756 to the Minister of Health
31 July 2017 - NW1756
Masango, Ms B to ask the Minister of Health
Does (a) he, (b) his Deputy Minister or (c) any of the heads of entities or bodies reporting to him make use of security services paid for by the State for (i) him/herself, (ii) his/her immediate family members or (iii) any of their staff members; in each case (aa) what are the reasons for it, (bb) from which department or entity’s budget is the security services being paid, and (cc) what are the relevant details?
Reply:
The Security Services paid for by the State falls under the responsibility of the South African Police Service and is not for our personal use. Hence, neither the Deputy Minister nor I use the service for our personal use. Staff members also do not use the service for their personal use.
I am reliably informed by our public entities that they do not use such services for their personal use.
END.
