Question NW1027 to the Minister of Health
07 May 2018 - NW1027
Thembekwayo, Dr S to ask the Minister of Health
How many more (a) doctors and (b) nurses does his department need to employ at each clinic and/or hospital to operate at maximum capacity and provide the highest quality of healthcare to all South Africans (i) in each province and (ii) nationally?
Reply:
There is no maximum capacity in our provision of health services. The provisioning of doctors and nurses can never reach a maximum. The provisioning is always determined by the availability of both financial and human resources.
END.
