Chirwa, Ms NN to ask the Minister of Health

In view of the fact that 4 800 healthcare workers were infected by Covid-19 at the end of June 2020, what (a) is the flagging system that has been put in place by his department to administer the testing of workers and speedy results, (b) is the total number of infected community healthcare workers to date, (c) are the reasons that danger pay has not been implemented noting the dangers that healthcare workers are faced with during the pandemic, especially those in (i) casualty, (ii) emergency and (iii) ICU wards?

Source

Reply:

a) The National Health Laboratory Service (NHLS) has prioritised the testing of healthcare workers and provision of results as part of the targeted testing guidelines.

b) Nationally 30,741 healthcare workers have been reported to be infected with COVID-19 as at 20 August 2020. A process to electronically account for individual healthcare worker on COVID-19 infections and outcomes is being initiated. This will enable more substantive monitoring of community healthcare worker infections, which we currently are unable to do because data is not reported on the level of granularity.

c) The Public Service Coordinating Bargaining Council Resolution 1 of 2007 (PSCBC Resolution 1of 2007), regulates danger allowance dispensation in the public service. According to this resolution, health care workers who work in casualty, emergency and ICU are not covered by danger allowance. However, the inclusion of these categories to the existing danger allowance dispensation is currently on the agenda of the PSCBC. Organised labour and the State as the employer are discussing it with a view to signing a resolution if they reach an agreement.

Tshwaku, Mr M to ask the Minister of Health

What happened to the R3,5 million that his department allocated to refurbish the Laetitia Bam Day Hospital in Port Elizabeth?

Source
Link

Reply:

According to the Eastern Cape Department of Health, of the allocated budget to the Project, 4 (four) payment certificates were processed and paid to the contractor appointed (Ikhono Projects) which amounted to a total of R461,520.40, with a retention of R24,290.54 still held back by the Eastern Cape Department of Health.

Due to the Contractor initiating a termination of the contract, as a result of late payments, and thereafter vacating the site, the remaining budget was re-prioritized by the Eastern Cape Department of Health to fund other Projects within the project portfolio. This re-prioritized budget would be re-allocated in the following financial year once a new contractor has been procured or an alternative resolution being arrived upon between the two parties (the Department and Ikhono Projects).

Whether his department has investigated the effect that electromagnetic exposure may have on the health of young children; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?

The National Department of Health is guided by the World Health Organization (WHO) with regards to such matters.

WHO established the International Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) Project in 1996. The project investigates the health impact of exposure to electric and magnetic fields in the frequency range 0-300 GHz and advises national authorities on EMF radiation protection[1].

Scientific studies suggest that EMFs are unlikely to be harmful at the levels normally found in homes, although there is some uncertainty regarding certain health effects[2]. These primarily relate to a possible, small increase in the risk of childhood leukeamia associated with high exposure to extremely low frequency electromagnetic forces (ELF-EMFs) which have been identified in some studies – these findings have suggested that there may be a small increase in risk of childhood leukaemia at higher than usual magnetic field exposures in homes, some of which are near to large power lines. It is estimated that 2 to 5 cases from the total of around 500 cases of childhood leukaemia per year in the United Kingdom could be attributable to magnetic fields. The types of studies that investigate these risks face many difficulties, including the possibility of chance, bias and the presence of confounding factors that may confuse the findings. Importantly there is no known mechanism or clear experimental evidence to explain how these effects might happen.

Current concerns are primarily focused on EMFs associated with 5G radiofrequencies (these are different to ELF-EMFs). Although a large number of studies have been performed over the last two decades to assess whether mobile phones pose a potential health risk, to date, no adverse health effects have been established as being caused by mobile phone use. The radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation that mobile phones or phone masts transmit and receive is non-ionising and is very weak. This non-ionising radiation does not have enough energy to damage DNA and cannot directly cause cancer. 4G or 5G networks differ in that they use higher frequency waves than older mobile networks, but they still do not have enough energy to damage DNA to cause cancer.[3]

WHO advocates for further research into the possible long-term health impacts of all aspects of mobile-telecommunications. It also develops public information materials and promotes dialogue among scientists, governments, and the public to increase understanding around health and mobile communications. WHO is conducting a health risk assessment from exposure to radiofrequencies, covering the entire radiofrequency range, including 5G, to be published by 2022[4].

Chirwa, Ms NN to ask the Minister of Health

With reference to the open letter written to him by a nurse at SS Gida Hospital in Keiskammahoek in the Eastern Cape in June 2020 (details furnished), detailing the level of neglect at that hospital, which included a lack of personal protective equipment (PPEs) and in-hospital infection of patients by Covid-19, what (a) steps has he taken to ensure that the hospital is provided with sufficient PPEs and (b) has he done to hold those responsible for the neglect at SS Gida Hospital to account?

Source
Link

Reply:

a) According to hospital management, SS Gida Hospital has not had a stock-out of PPEs. This is supported by site visits conducted by NEHAWU on 29th of April 2020, provincial office team on 06 May 2020 and district management on 20 June 2020. SS Gida was allocated appropriate volumes of PPEs by the Port Elizabeth depot. However, the shortage at the facility occurred as a result of inappropriate use of PPEs, for example health care workers preferred to use N95 masks even in settings where surgical mask would suffice.

b) National Guidelines on Infection Prevention and Control have been developed which includes the use of PPEs. Training on these guidelines will be provided to staff with the expected outcome including the rational use of PPEs.

c) Once training is provided and all staff are appropriately knowledgeable on the rational use of PPEs, consequence management interventions will be implemented.

No. The Department of Communications and Digital Technologies (DCDT) responsible for government telecommunications in the country has not yet published a 5G deployment policy at this stage.

According to the policy direction on High Demand Spectrum that was gazetted by the Minister of Communications and Digital Technologies in July 2019, the roadmap for 5G deployment in South Africa will be developed after a study has been conducted by the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA),on the spectrum requirements of 5G.

It must be acknowledged that the candidate 5G technologies are currently being evaluated by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). Detailed specifications of 5G technologies, officially known as the International Mobile Telecommunications-2020 (IMT-2020 Standards) are envisaged to be finalised within a year.

According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), there are no adverse health effects associated with 5G networks and the exposure to wireless technologies. The International Commission on Non‐Ionizing Radiation Protection 2020 Guidelines also declared 5G as safe.

We must also point out that some operators in South Africa already have licences for spectrum that can be used for 5G (e.g. RAIN). All existing 5G trials in South Africa have used existing spectrum bands allocated and used for 4G, under similar power restrictions.For the full deployment of 5G, ICASAwill have to allocate more radio frequency spectrum for use by 5G networks. This process is being given high priority by government, and was expedited when network operators were issued with temporary spectrum “in an effort to deal with COVID-19 telecommunications challenges”. In the meantime, most 5G networks use existing spectrum allocations.

The Minister of Communications and Digital Technologies published “Proposed Policy and Policy Direction on Rapid Deployment of Electronic Communications Networks and Facilities” dated 22 July 2020,available online athttps://www.gov.za/documents/electronic-communications-act-proposed-policy-and-policy-direction-rapid-deployment. The purpose of the Draft Policy is to provide clarity on the deployment of electronic communications networks and facilities.

The Draft Policy states that an Electronic Communications Network Service (ECNS) licensee has the right to select, access and use public and private land to deploy communications networks and facilities - subject to laws that regulate the manner in which a licensee should exercise its powers.The Draft Policy acknowledges the emergence of 5G networks and the demand that these new technologies will have on electronic communications networks. DCDT has indicated that many objections were received on this Draft Policy due to public concerns raised regarding possible effects on property value, infringement on property owners’ rights and health risks associated with 5G networks.

What research has his department conducted in the efforts to study and observe immunity in the South African context as research conducted in Spain on immunity has shown that recovering from Covid-19 does not necessarily result in immunity against the virus?

Source
Link

Reply:

The concept of herd immunity is the indirect protection from a contagious infectious disease such as SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) and related corona viruses and the threshold is crossed when enough people are immune and the number of new cases is are declining. The effectiveness of herd immunity is dependent on several epidemiological principles which include the following:

The disease must carry a substantial health risk.
The risk of contracting the disease must be high.
The vaccine must be effective.
The vaccine must be safe.

The COVID-19 virus fits all the above principles, but there is currently no clinically proven vaccine against the virus. The immune response to Covid-19 is currently not yet fully understood and definitive data on post-infection immunity is also lacking.

South Africa has not published results of any immunological studies in response to the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) threat. Such a research is normally conducted by research institutes such as through the Department of Science and Innovation’s research institutions and Councils including entities such as the South African Medical Research Council (SAMRC)and the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR).

There are several studies initiated by the National Department of Health (NDoH), the National Institute for Communicable Diseases (NICD), the National Health Laboratory Service (NHLS), universities and institutes, including the South African National Blood Service (SANBS), that are currently under consideration to assist the country in understanding the immunological response to the COVID-19 disease and the level of antibody response at an individual level and on a population level. This work is ongoing, and results will be released as they become available.

1. There are no regulations that allow for capping of prices in the private sector. Discussions have been held with the private laboratories to bring down their prices. The private laboratories were charging different prices, with some charging up to R1,400 per test. Following these discussions all private laboratories reduced their prices to R850 per test.

2. Free testing in the private sector will be difficult as private laboratories have to recover their costs. In the public sector patients do not pay if they are not on medical aid.

Reply:

(a) There are currently two (2) ongoing COVID-19 vaccine trials in South Africa;

(b) The vaccine trials are conducted by the Respiratory and Meningeal Pathogens Research Unit, Wits Health Consortium (ChAdOx1 SARS-CoV-2 Trial) and TASK Applied Science (TASK-008 BCG- CORONA Trial); and

(c) In general, Regulation 30 of the Medicines Act (Act 101 of 1965, as amended) mandates the South African Health Products Regulatory Authority (SAHPRA) to regulate the conduct of all clinical trials in the Republic of South Africa. In carrying out this legislative mandate, SAHPRA is guided by relevant sections of the current South African Good Clinical Practice (SAGCP) Guidelines.

Specifically, sub-regulations 30(10)(b) and (c) empower SAHPRA to inspect clinical trial sites and/or withdraw authorization to conduct clinical trials, respectively. Withdrawal can be for reasons of compromised safety of trial participants, or changes in the original science behind the trial, or where the integrity of the data being generated becomes compromised. In addition, SAHPRA, in line with current SAGCP Guidelines, ensures that all protocols have had adequate oversight by registered ethics committees as part of its clinical trial protocol approval process.

All these regulatory measures taken by SAHPRA during protocol approval, and subsequent trial monitoring by both site inspections and safety monitoring reports, serve to ensure that persons participating in all clinical trials conducted in South Africa are protected from harmful and unethical medical conduct.

Reply:

1. (a) (i) The total number of vacant posts that were available across the Republic for nurses, doctors and other healthcare workers in February 2020 was 33 398.

(ii) A total number of 17150 health professionals (i.e. nurses, doctor and other related health care professions) have since been appointed from February to June 2020. This accounts for 34%of the 33 398 vacancies listed above.

(b) The National Department of Health used the Model of Demand based on the projected number of infections per district to determine the Surge Capacity demand during the Covid-19 Pandemic. The Model is applied to the population and Covid-19 caseloads using 85% of Public hospital general beds and 100% of ICU and High Care beds for Covid-19 care. The Model, estimates that the Public Health Sector will require an additional 1 200 Doctors and 18 000 Nurses of various categories.

(2) A total of 7 416 health professionals were already contractedacross the provinces to fill the gap in the HR requirements. A database for workforce candidates containing 942 doctors and 1 261 as well as 144 other categories of staff is accessible to provinces to recruit staff from and some provinces also have databases with potential candidates available. Recruitment is continuing.

Based on the directions issued by the Minister of Health in April, the recruitment process should be shortened by advertising a post and effecting appointments within a period of a week

Budget motivations are submitted to Provincial Treasuries and to NDoH for consideration.

Other sources for healthcare workers include the following:

Health Professionals working in the private sector can be appointed on sessional basis
176 health professionals from Cuba is assisting South Africa in the response to COVID-19. The necessary registrations have been completed and they have been deployed across all provinces. They are authorised to work in any province. Since the projected peaks differ between provinces, this cadre could be deployed to areas with the highest need
Volunteers: Provinces placed advertisements for volunteers to assist in the response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Foreign nationals: The Foreign Workforce Management Unit (FWM) of the National Department of Health is facilitating the recruitment and placement of all “Foreign Health Workers” who present themselves for employment and study opportunities in South Africa. Policy guidelines for registration and employment of foreign qualified health professionals in South Africa are in place.
Final year students: NDoH engaged with Deans of Health Sciences Faculties and Principals of Nursing Colleges to facilitate deployment of final year students to assist with care of COVID-19 patients e.g. in field hospitals. Postgraduate nursing students returned to workplaces to support the COVID-19 response. Final year nursing students will write examinations by the end of August and will thereafter available for the surge capacity.
Interns and Com Serve: There is an existing ICSP database. Health professionals in this category that are not currently employed or due to complete their terms, can be contracted to supplement the surge capacity
Retired health professionals: Based on the directions issued by the Minister of Health in April, all retired personnel may be requested to fill in positions on a temporary basis to assist in responding to the pandemic. Retired employees can be deployed to low risk areas to relief staff to attend to COVID-19 patients.

The following additional areas are pursued to expand the resource base:

Non-Governmental Organisations and Community based organisations: The directions issued by the Minister of Health in April also makes provision for community service personnel, extended public works programme workers, CBOs and NGOs to fill in positions on a temporary basis to assist in responding to the pandemic. Provinces can engage with these sectors to identify possible capacity. Possible down referral of patients to suitable sectors should be considered as well as increasing the capabilities of homebased caregivers and Community Health workers to strengthen home care.
South African Military Health Services (SAMHS): SAMHS can support Provinces in the response to COVID-19 in terms of the role of the South African Defence Force (SANDF) in Disaster Management. Provinces should liaise with SAMHS in the province.

The following measures are implemented to reduce the demand on human resources during the pandemic:

Provincial Health Departments are reprioritising health care services. This can include the identification of routine and elective services that can immediately be deferred or moved to other settings or non-affected areas or identification of alternative service providers e.g. from hospitals to PHC settings, private sector or NGOs.
Co-ordination with the private sector is done to optimise all the resources available in the province. Discussions at National level resolved to contract the private sector on a global fee inclusive of beds, hospital staff, equipment and consumables where additional capacity is needed, especially for critical care beds. A Service Level Agreement (SLA) template is available.
In provinces with metros, metros are engaged to identify services that can be redirected from provincial facilities to municipal clinics and health centres to free up provincial staff for the COVID-19 response. Alternatively, metro staff can be seconded to the field hospitals or other COVID-19 settings.
Alternative service delivery mechanisms are to be considered, e.g. allowing pharmacists to extend ordinary prescriptions for people with chronic conditions provided they are controlled on treatment.

Source

Reply:

1. The National Department of Health has not identified cases of illegal health care practitioners in the past year however, there have been complaints of illegal practice by unregistered persons to the statutory health professional councils which fall under the mandate of Health as follows:

Statutory Health Professional Council	Number of cases reported
Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA)	1,384
South African Nursing Council (SANC)	4 (over the past 5 years) However, the SANC is currently following-up on a number (3,327) of potential cases which were identified during the implementation of the Bargaining Council Resolution that provides for deduction of money from the nurses’ salaries through Persal for payment of annual registration fees with Council. Most of the cases referred to above were off the SANC register due to non-payment of annual registration fees and invalid identification numbers.
South African Pharmacy Council (SAPC)	1
South African Dental Technicians Council (SADTC)	82 (due to non-payment of annual fees)
Allied Health Professions Council of South Africa (AHPCSA)	0 (Stats not kept; complaints referred to the South African Police Service)

2. There are various plans and/or strategies employed by the statutory health professional councils to eradicate the specified trend as follows:

a) Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA): In 2015, as part of the strategies of protecting the public, the HPCSA established a law enforcement and compliance Unit, the Inspectorate Office. The functions of the Inspectorate Office are:

(i) to identify and assist in the investigation and prosecution of persons who practice without being registered with the HPCSA;

(ii) to ensure that healthcare practitioners comply with ethical rules, regulations, the Act and sanctions issued by the disciplinary committee (Professional Conduct Committee);

(iii) to create awareness and educate the public about the health risks presented by ‘bogus practitioners’ or unregistered persons; and

(iv) to collaborate with other law enforcement agencies, authorities and regulators in identifying, investigating, arresting and prosecuting ‘bogus practitioners’ or unregistered persons.

Due to financial resource constraints, there are currently 9 inspectors in the Inspectorate Office. However, the number of inspectors employed can be increased to have a larger national footprint. The inspectors are currently deployed as follows: KZN=1; EC=1; WC=1 and the 6 inspectors rotate between GP, Limpopo, FS, NC, and NW according to trends analysis and need.

In addition to the above, the HPCSA through its Inspectorate Office works with other law enforcement agencies and other regulatory bodies which resulted in significant success in dealing with unregistered persons.

b) South African Nursing Council (SANC): If and when the SANC becomes aware of any person who may be practicing without being registered with the SANC as a nurse (practicing illegally), the SANC investigates and criminal charges are laid against such a person.

c) South African Pharmacy Council (SAPC): The SAPC regularly conducts monitoring inspections of all registered pharmacies and in doing so, eradicates the prevalence of illegal practice.

In addition, the SAPC’s inspector works in partnership with the HAWKS and the South African Health Products Regulatory Authority in the event of Council being aware of any pharmacy being operated with illegal health practitioners.

The legislation pertaining to the access to medicines further makes it very difficult for non-registered persons to gain access to medicines legally.

d) South African Dental Technicians Council (SADTC): The SADTC manages registration of practitioners in accordance with the enabling legislation and regulations which provides for payment of penalties for practitioners to be restored to the register and to continue practicing.

In addition, Council opens criminal cases against persons found to be practicing illegally. In 2019 Council successfully managed to close two illegal laboratories, one in the Western Cape and Eastern Cape. Both were operated by unqualified and unregistered persons. The two cases were successfully prosecuted, and both got maximum penalties.

e) Allied Health Professions Council of South Africa (AHPCSA): The AHPCSA only has legal jurisdiction over persons registered under that Statutory Health Council. Any person who practices a healthcare legally regulated profession without registration, therefore unlawfully, commits a criminal offence and the matter is reported to the law enforcement authorities.

The number of under-five deaths which occurred in each public sector hospital from 1st April – 30th June 2020 is shown in Annexure A.

b) The majority of deaths in the newborn period are due to prematurity, infection and birth asphyxia. The leading causes of death in children aged between one month and five years are diarrhoea, pneumonia and septicaemia with HIV infection and malnutrition as important underlying conditions. As deaths due to diarrhoea and pneumonia decline, the proportion of deaths due to congenital disorders and non-natural deaths (as a result of accidents/injuries) is rising. Detailed information on cause of death as recorded on the death certificate is collated by Statistics South Africa, but this information is not immediately available.

Msane, Ms TP to ask the Minister of Health

On what date will (a) a mother-and-child hospital wing be constructed in line with the request sent to his department by the hospital management of Thelle Mogoerane Hospital in Vosloorus and (b) he ensure that there are enough theatre beds in the specified hospital?

Reply:

(a)-(b) On commissioning of Thelle Mogoerane Hospital, concerns were raised that the maternity and neonatal unit will not be large enough to accommodate the existing services due to the limitations of the building. In response the GDOH-Infrastructure commenced with planning to address these issues raised since the hospital was commissioned and a proposal was made to extend the existing maternity and neonatal wards. Due to challenges with the proposed size of the unit it was clear that it would not be possible to fit the unit on the existing site due to the size of the site and the dolomitic conditions identified in the earmarked areas. The Professional Service Provider team, that was appointed at the time, was requested to look at other sites in close proximity to the hospital. This commenced but the search was not conclusive. The project was thus placed on hold in 2018.

Since then the Neonatal unit was moved to Ward 1 and 14. These changes were made to support neonatal services and was completed in 2019 and early 2020. A new milk room was provided in Ward 14 and completed in early 2020. The conversion of a delivery room into an obstetric theatre commenced in March 2020 and is still in progress.

Reply:

There is no Maluti Clinic in Matatiele, but there is Maluti Community Health Centre which provides 24 hour services.

(a) The Department appointed an Operations Manager for Maluti Community Health Centre in September 2019 to provide leadership in the facility. The CHC manager oversees and manages all the operations of the Centre which has already resulted in less complaints being lodged than before. Professional nurses’ vacancies are replaced as and when they are vacated. In 2020, the Department appointed six (6) professional nurses, three (3) of which are Specialised Primary Health Care nurses. This brings the total number of staffing to: One (1) Operational Manager, 26 professional nurses, one (1) doctor, one (1) pharmacist, and two (2) pharmacy assistants. The facility is expecting a dentist to be commencing at the beginning of September 2020. There are 20 Community Health Workers (CHWs) who do general work who are appointed on contract basis under the COVID-19 project.

(b) Medical supplies are monitored daily through stock visibility which is an electronic system monitored by a pharmacist. The status as of 4 August 2020 is that:

ARVs	85%
Vaccines	90%
Tracer Drugs	75%
PPE	75%

All these are efforts that have been made to improve the capacity of Maluti Community Health Centre on both staff and medical supplies in order to prevent patients from being sent back to thier homes every day.

Chirwa, Ms NN to ask the Minister of Health

Whether the support team led by Dr SibongileZungu, including Professor Ian Sanne, Theo Lighthelm, Albert Jansen, Dr Dorman Chimhamhiwa and Wendy Ovens that was deployed by Minister ZweliMkhize in the debilitated Eastern Cape Department of Health has submitted any report with recommendations regarding what needs to be done in the specified province; if not, what is the position in this regard, if so, (a) what were the recommendations and (b) how far has each recommendation been implemented?

The intervention team has submitted a report to the Eastern Cape Department of Health, the Office of the Premier, and the Office of the Minister of Health.

The report submitted covered the analysis and the state of the COVID-19 response in the Eastern Cape for the period, 29th June 2020 until 10th July 2020. The report recommended nine areas of intervention. The recommendation made by the Strategy Team is following the key strategic areas as outlined by the WHO-COVID-19 response guideline as tailored to the provincial needs.

(a) The recommended interventions

1.1 Coordination between Tertiary, Regional and District hospitals is inadequate and should be addressed through the revised command and control structure.

1.2 Given the busy schedule of the SG, it would benefit the Province to have a Project Manager for COVID19 with the necessary authority to fast track actions.

1.3 While the metros have mobilised reasonable infrastructure to meet the surge, the Eastern Cape Department of Health (the Department) needs to give attention to the scaling-up of service delivery requirements such as the adequate provision of oxygen, equipment, human resources, and medicines necessary for the management of the Pandemic.

1.4 Certain hospitals are currently overwhelmed (Doran Nginza in NMB in particular) by the patient demand, and lack of infrastructure, equipment and human resources to meet the clinical care demand which the Department needs to address.

1.5 Labour relations is a matter that requires a dedicated action plan to normalise service delivery.

1.6 Historic arrangements for drainage areas, resource allocation, and referral routing are not addressing the significant surge in patient numbers, particularly in underserved, vulnerable populations.

1.7 Emergency Medical Services and patient transport services require intervention to ensure continued function.

1.8 Within the Province, the oxygen separation plants are located in the Nelson Mandela Bay Metro. The distribution of the oxygen is, therefore, a challenge for areas furthest from the Metro.

1.9 Implementation of a comprehensive data system to capture the parameters of the COVID-19 response.

(b) How far each of the recommendations has been implemented

1. Coordination between Tertiary, Regional and District hospitals is inadequate and should be addressed through the revised command and control structure.

The Intervention Team assisted the Department to establish its Command and Control structure which was adjusted from the Department’s strategic documents.

The structure is divided into three layers, Provincial, district and facility specific. Each structure has adopted an incident management approach (WHO-COVID-19 Guidance) with daily command and control meetings covering the following areas:

Epidemiology and Surveillance
Community engagement for prevention, contact tracing and testing
Laboratory support and result reporting
Treatment and Care including facility surge capacity
Infrastructure and equipment
Logistic support - pharmacy, consumables and personal protective equipment
Emergency Services
Psycho-social support to health workers
Port Health

The strategic area of Port Health is not given a daily focus as Port Health is a national competence. The PMU is vigilant around Port Health issues and receives reports relevant to the Province from the National Department of Health.

2. Given the busy schedule of the SG, it would benefit the Province to have a Project Manager for COVID-19 with the necessary authority to fast track actions.

The Premier of the Province Hon. Mr. Oscar Mabuyane announced the establishment of the Project Management Unit for a comprehensive response to COVID-19. The Project Management Unit(PMU) has established the following structure (Fig. 1 below).

Dr Zungu leads the PMU. She works with Dr Monde Tom, a financial management expert with vast experience in both the public and private sector, leads the Business Continuity Workstream and Mr LauwrenceVanZuydam an experienced HR executive seconded from the Office of the Premier.

The project leader is responsible for directing all COVID-19 activities and for fasting track actions. The PMU has been integrated into the overall Eastern Cape Department of Health’s Covid-19 response and supports the HOD as the accounting officer.

The structure of the PMU and the related workstreams is depicted below.

4. Certain hospitals are currently overwhelmed (Doran Nginza in NMB in particular) by the patient demand, and lack of infrastructure, equipment and human resources to meet the clinical care demand which the Department needs to address.

This recommendation is specific to DorahNginza and Livingstone hospitals as there had been persistent negative media reports about the two facilities.

Dora Nginza Hospital

Maternity Services

The Department resolved the congestion of the maternity wards at DorahNginza by strengthening the peripheral clinics to operate their midwife services. They have also addressed the shortage of staff by fast-tracking the recruitment of doctors and nurses.

Upgrade of Dora Nginza Hospital- 100-bed wing

The Department upgraded a dilapidated wing of the hospital to provide a 100-bed wing to support the COVID19 peak. The project was part of the Province’s “Accelerated Construction Program” which meant that a project that would typically take four months, the constructors completed in two months. The Department handed over the site to DorahNginza Hospital on the 6th July 2020.

Oxygen Reticulation

The National Oxygen Team undertook an audit of the whole oxygen reticulation system of the Dora Nginza hospital. It found that the hospital has four Oxygen Manifolds with only one partially functional. Repairs to the system commenced on the 28th July. The local car manufacturing company has committed to the replacement of two manifolds, and the Department has ordered a further one. The full functionality of all the manifolds will ensure a continuous supply of oxygen at the correct pressure and volume.

Livingstone Hospital

Infrastructure

The Department undertook a project to upgrade the basement to provide an additional 68 Beds with Oxygen. The initiative is also part of the “Accelerated Construction Program”.

Leadership

The Department appointed an Acting CEO for the Livingstone hospital on 22nd July. Also, they have advertised the post of Nursing Service Manager and CEO. The processes will be fast-tracked.

Facilities Management

The hospital management set-up a short-term 6-month cleaning contract. The intention is to ensure that the staff at Livingstone hospital are reoriented into a deep cleaning routine and protocols. The washing machine has been repaired, resulting in improvement with the laundry services.

3. While the metros have mobilised reasonable infrastructure to meet the surge, the Eastern Cape Department of Health (the Department) needs to give attention to the scaling-up of service delivery requirements such as the adequate provision of oxygen, equipment, human resources, and medicines necessary for the management of the Pandemic.

6. Historic arrangements for drainage areas, resource allocation, and referral routing are not addressing the significant surge in patient numbers, particularly in underserved, vulnerable populations.

7. Emergency Medical Services and patient transport services require intervention to ensure continued function.

8. Within the Province, the oxygen separation plants are located in the Nelson Mandela Bay Metro. The distribution of the oxygen is, therefore, a challenge for areas furthest from the Metro.

We have addressed the recommendations 3, 6, 7, and 8 above through adoption of a service delivery model that rearranges the structure and resource distribution within the Eastern Cape health system to optimise service delivery.

Currently, the major urban areas contain all the critical care capacity, that is Nelson Mandela Bay and Buffalo City metros, Mthatha, and to a limited extent, Queenstown. The outer reaches of the western, central and eastern areas are more than three-hour drive time from existing critical care beds. In collaboration with the Provincial Department of Health, the PMU developed a Hub and Spoke approach to address the shortfalls. The purpose of the Hub and Spoke strategy is then to identify the hospital drainage (referral pathway) to existing and or expanded Critical Care capacity coupled with the estimated distance and travel times to reach a bed safely at the peak of the COVID19 Pandemic. The PMU has also determined the high-risk areas based on at least one of the following factors:

Travel times between facilities
Travel distance between facilities
Quality of the road infrastructure
Quality of hospital infrastructure between the referring hospital and the receiving hospitalCritical care bed saturation

The District team are in the process of confirming satellite hubs for the expanded distribution of COVID19 critical care beds to address the potential shortfall. The PMU will support the Province to optimise existing district hospitals based on minimal input but with a maximum return.

The Department of Health supported by the PMU has made the following progress:

Infrastructure: The following infrastructure projects are underway in the Province, to yield a significant increase in the general ward beds (n=2,022) and critical care beds (n=311). The addition of the infrastructure development from the baseline will address the NEC long-term projected peak demand for COVID-19 admission in the districts and Province. The Rev Dr Elizabeth MamisaChabula Hospital facility will receive an additional upgrade of the current Phase I priority three beds to include additional oxygen supply. The intervention will add 312 oxygen beds to meet the demand in the Nelson Mandela Bay Metro and surrounding districts.

Figure : Estimated General Ward Beds required to meet the demand for COVID-19, current and projects under construction.

Figure : Estimated critical care beds in the Province, and anticipated deficit but can be achieved through the implementation of Hub and Spoke service delivery model.

Equipment: During the reporting period, the PMU identified significant gaps in the availability of a wide range of equipment. Notwithstanding, the team has made substantial inroads into addressing the procurement and distribution of equipment. The following categories of additional equipment have been ordered and delivered according to a schedule that considers shipment and available stock:

General Ward and ICU patient beds
Ventilators (procured and USG Donation), CPAP, High-Flow Nasal Cannula Oxygen devices
Patient monitors, ECG machine, dynamap blood pressure systems
ICU equipment video laryngoscopes, syringe pumps, suction, oxygen flowmeters

The following table describes the details on procurement:

Emergency Medical Services: Supported by the National Department of the Health, the Provincial Department of Health has acknowledged that the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and patient transport capabilities for the management of COVID19 are insufficient. The Intervention Team supported the Department in developing a comprehensive plan to strengthen an emergency and inter-facility transportation system to address the hub and spoke referral routing.

The Department has initiated an EMS pilot project which is a Command and Control Centre in the Nelson Mandela Metro. The Department has supported the plan by the appointment of additional EMS practitioners, drivers and patient transport vehicles. The team will now implement similar projects in other districts. The plan includes liaison with the private sector, identifying oxygen refill hubs, and equipping EMS vehicles with ventilation support equipment.

The Province has adopted the Vula Application which is a patient referral system to be used for inter-facility transfers.

Oxygen: A sufficient supply of oxygen is critical for the effective treatment of Covid19 patients. Before an intervention by the National Oxygen Working Group, the Province demonstrated acute shortage of oxygen at the hospital level. Different role-players have mitigated the problem through a range of interventions and contributions. The Province already has completed several oxygen projects essential for the introduction of the expanded critical care bed hub and spoke. Other site developments are still in process.

The prioritised facilities for oxygen upgrades are listed below.

At Butterworth Hospital, a temporary oxygen tank has been installed while the plinth for the permanent tank is constructed. The installation of temporal tank has been completed.
At Mthatha Regional Hospital, a temporary oxygen tank has been installed while the plinth for the permanent tank is constructed.
The construction of the plinths for bulk oxygen supply for the following facilities will follow this sequence:
1. Sir Henry Elliot Hospital
2. St Barnabas Hospital
3. Victoria Hospital
4. Empilsiweni Hospital
5. All Saints Hospital
6. The reticulation Dora Nginza has started this week 28th July 2020 (1 week to complete).
7. Adelaide next week (03rd August)
8. Butterworth reticulation to start in two weeks (15th August)
9. Stutterheim Hospital
10. Grey Hospital Hospital
11. MalizoMphehle Hospital
12. Zithulele Hospital
13. Holy Cross Hospital
14. Madzikaneka Zulu Hospital
15. St Barnabas Hospital
16. All Saints Hospital
17. Mpilisweni Hospital
18. Aliwal North Hospital

The impact of the District Oxygen Supply can be summarised in the table below to demonstrate the increase in the improved oxygen supply.

Labour relations. Labour relations is a matter that requires a dedicated action plan to normalise service delivery

As noted in the report, the resolution of labour issues is key to the successful implementation of the recommendations. Labour relations is employer-employee relationship management with several actions required to resolve the outstanding issues falling into the realm of the Department of Health to resolve. The PMU has raised the issues identified to the DOH and Premier. In response, the Premier has seconded Mr Lawrence Van Zuydam to lead the effort to resolve these. The Minister of Health has met with the provincial leadership of the Trade Unions in Health in the Province, and the Member of Executive Council holding the ongoing engagement.

The PMU has provided a detailed analysis of the human resource requirements as assessed by the National Department of Health according to the Anaplan, aligned with the National Epidemiology Consortium long-term projection. The Provincial Department of Health is addressing the human resource requirements through the implementation of rapid recruitment strategies.

Implementation of a comprehensive data system to capture the parameters of the COVID-19 response.

Key to the interventions is the data collected in the NIDS, Dat.COV, Vula systems and comprehensively collated to ensure the number of beds available at the facility and per the strategic planning. As the epidemic evolves, the monitoring evaluation data is required daily to ensure that PMU is responding to the changing situation. The PMU is placing special attention of the data requirements for contact tracing, quarantine, isolation, hospitalisation and deaths.

The progress has focused on a review of the data collection capacity, human resources, connectivity and routine data reporting from each facility. An increase in the number of facilities routinely reporting data has been achieved. The M&E team will integrate the routine clinical data with the laboratory testing data, and mortality data to provide a comprehensive overview of the pandemic progress in the Province.

1. There are standing Public Health and Social Development Bargaining Council (PHSDSBC) Resolutions 1 and 2 of 2018/19 and 2019/20 pertaining to standardizing Community Health Worker (CHW) remuneration at R3,500 per month. These Resolutions also highlight the need for processes to guide the employment, placement, remuneration, skills development and other processes related to conditions of employment for CHWs. The extension of Resolution 1 of 2018/19 to 2019/20 will allow the Department to engage all relevant stakeholders to guide the processes on conditions of employment for CHWs. Currently, the recruitment and remuneration for CHWS is enforced through these Resolutions, which do not make allowances for permanent employment, other than renewable of annual contracts. Furthermore, this matter is currently before the Bargaining Council wherein the Department engages with Labour Unions on possible interventions.

2. (a) There are 49,526 CHWs contracted across all Provinces.

(b) There are 49 526 CHWs who are on contract employment.

(c) The Department is not aware of the number of CHWs employed permanently. The Department became aware of the Gauteng Province (GP) intentions to employ CHWs permanently following the announcement by the Health MEC, Dr Masuku, stating that as of 1 July 2020, the Gauteng Department would have finalised the translation of 8,500 CHWs as Level 2 employees and the Department will complete the remaining number by 31 July 2020. There has not been any formal communication to the Director General (DG) for Health in this matter however, the DG has written to GP Head of Department seeking clarity on the matter. For this reason, we cannot confirm the number of CHWs employed permanently by Gauteng Province.

Reply:

Priority areas (hot-spots) have already been identified where the creation of surge capacity and additional bed-capacity was of critical importance. The National Department through its Emergency Health Infrastructure Unit is assisting the Provincial Departments of Health and provides capacity in order to create and implement additional surge and bed-capacity, by means of emergency repairs, upgrades, new installations, conversion of existing spaces and additional capacity through temporary emergency structures.

A Rapid Implementation Management team assists with the identification and assessment of sites in priority hotspot areas and assists with the planning and lay-out and utilization of the sites. The assessment and planning includes assessment from a clinical perspective but also architectural, electrical and mechanical engineering, health technology and other engineering services as may be required. Assessment reports of 28 facilities in Gauteng have been completed and various priority projects identified.

Ndlozi, Dr MQ to ask the Minister of Health

Whether, in responding to the Covid-19 pandemic and making decisions on the lockdown to curb the spread of the coronavirus, he used any statistical data on the number of persons who stay in the (a) rural areas and (b) townships; if not, why not; if so, what statistical data did he use to source statistics on the number of persons living in the rural areas and townships?

Source
Link

Reply:

a) The key statistic that we have been monitoring is the rate of spread of new infections i.e. the 7 day rate of change in COVID-19 cases. While the total number of infections are useful, the key statistic is the number of active cases particularly the rate of change of these active cases and the location of new cases.

b) The spread of the infection in South Africa has not been specific to rural areas or townships. The spread of the infection has been driven largely by movement and interaction by persons that are infected. The infection is droplet spread which would spread much easier in densely populated areas. The areas that have been most severely affected are the large Metros such as City of Cape Town, City of Johannesburg, Buffalo City, Nelson Mandela Bay and eThekwini. The more rural areas have been spared to a large extent from widespread infection due to our restriction on movement during level 5 and level 4. You would note to date that the more rural provinces have had much lower rates of infection – Mpumalanga, Limpopo, Northern Cape and Free State. The infection in the Eastern Cape and Kwa-Zulu is concentrated in the urban centres not rural areas.

c) The infection spread within urban areas has affected both the suburbs and the townships. There viral infection has not spared any community in terms of its transmission.

The increase in cases from the 5thto the 18th March was 1088% (5 to 58 cases). On the 25 March 2020 when the 21 day lockdown was announced the rate of change for COVID-19 cases decreased to 526% (58 to 362) then to 24% (362 to 1232) then to 33% (1232 to 1641 cases)-coinciding with the 14 day lockdown extension. The relatively slow rate of increase averaged about 47% until lock down level 4. It then gradually started to increase. This data proved that the lockdown achieved the objective of slowing down the rate of increase of cases, thereby giving health care authorities an opportunity to prepare the health system for the anticipated COVID-19 peaks.

Ngwenya, Ms DB to ask the Minister of Health

What (a) informed his decision to lower the days of isolation for those who tested positive for Covid-19 from 14 to 10 days and (b) is the scientific basis for the specified decision?

Source
Link

Reply:

a) The initial recommendation from the World Health Organisation (WHO) for persons that tested positive for COVID-19 was 14 days.

Recent evidence has shown that this isolation period can be safely shortened.

The WHO, the United States Centre for Disease Control (US-CDC), Public Health England (PHE) and the European Centre for Disease Control (ECDC) have recommended shorter isolation periods.

These bodies recommend the following:

Guideline	Severity
	Mild	Severe	Asymptomatic
WHO (27 May 2020)	10 (+3) days after onset of symptoms	10 days after +ve test
US CDC (05 May 2020)	10 days after onset of symptoms
ECDC (8 April 2020)	8 days after onset of symptoms	14 days after onset of symptoms	Unclear
UK PHE (14 June 2020)	7 days after onset of symptoms	7 days after +ve test (or 7 days after onset of symptoms if symptoms develop)

The National Department of Health has taken the cautious approach and adopted the WHO’s recommendation on isolation duration.

b) The decision was based on the best available scientific evidence. The evidence shows that the median time for viral shedding is approximately 8 days.[1],[2],[3],[4] These studies use in vitro cell cultures as a surrogate measure for viral shedding, however have relatively small sample sizes.

These studies were also used to inform the recommendation made by the WHO, US-CDC, ECDC, and PHE.

a) (i) Total number of complaints for 2018/19 and 2019/20

The National Department of Health (NDoH) has developed a web-based application to assist public health facilities to comply with the National Guideline to Manage Complaints, Compliments and Suggestions in the Public Health Sector. The number of complaints as set out in the tables below are according to the web-based application which came into effect on 1 April 2018. It is important to note that not all health facilities are reporting on the system yet, therefore the number of complaints reflect those health facilities that are reporting complaints on the web-based application.

June	936
July	736
TOTAL	3653

b) (i) Measures and/or processes are in place to ensure complaints are addressed

The National Health Act (Act 61 of 2003) stipulates in Section 18 that, (i) any person may lay a complaint about the manner in which he or she was treated at a health establishment and have the complaint investigated. To this effect the National Department of Health (NDoH) published the National Guideline to Manage Complaints, Compliments and Suggestions in the Public Health Sector which came into effect on 1 April 2018. Provincial workshops were held in November and December 2017 to train staff on the implementation of the Guideline. According to the Guideline a complaint is defined as the dissatisfaction, displeasure, disapproval or discontent expressed verbally or in writing by any person about the specific health services being rendered and or care being provided within the health sector.

The National Health Act, 2003 was amended in 2013 to make provision for the establishment of the Office of Health Standards Compliance (OHSC). The objects of the Office are to protect and promote the health and safety of users of health services by:

monitoring and enforcing compliance with prescribed norms and standards
ensuring effective management of complaints relating to non-compliance with norms and standards through a Health Ombud.

The first Health Ombud, Professor Malegapuru William Makgoba, was appointed on 1 June 2016.

(ii) Time frames and deadline that have been put in place.

According to the National Guideline to Manage Complaints, Compliments and Suggestions in the Public Health Sector, complaints must be resolved within 25 working days.

The National Guideline stipulates that complaints should be lodged at the point of care, i.e. the public health facility where the incident took place. Should the complainant feel that the facility has not addressed his/her concern to their satisfaction, he/she may escalate the complaint in writing to the relevant District Office or the Provincial Health Department. As a last resort when complainants are still aggrieved with the outcome of the District Office or Provincial Health Department’s investigation, they can lodge their complaint with the Health Ombud within the OHSC.

By what date will he (a) ensure that the seven vacancies in the maternity ward at the Mamelodi Hospital are filled to ease the burden on existing staff (details furnished) and (b) prioritise and address the national crisis of shortages of (i) midwifery, (ii) nurses and (iii) sisters in maternity wards in public hospitals?

Source

Reply:

a) A total of 72 posts are attached to both the Maternity Ward and the Neo Natal Ward, allocated per category type as follows: There are 45 Professional Nurses (PNs) of which 27 are assigned to the Maternity ward, this number includes 2 PNs already issued with job offers and are expected to resume duty on the 1st of August 2020. There are also 17 Enrolled Nurses (ENs) and 8 Enrolled Nursing Assistants (ENAs), of which 8 ENs and 5 ENAs are allocated for the Maternity ward. Currently there are no vacant posts that exist in the maternity Ward.

The Hospital fills replacement /vacant posts within 30 days when they became vacant, especially in the Medical and Nursing(clinical) departments. The Hospital also utilises the service of a Nursing Agency to provide nursing personnel to alleviate pressure in critical areas.

However, it needs to be mentioned that the Hospital was a day hospital, that has since been upgraded recently to a Regional Hospital. A new Organisational Structure has been finalised and approved for the package of care for a Regional Hospital, and a phased-in approach for filling of the posts is being pursued dependent on the available budget. This has not been realised currently, and the Hospitalcontinues to operate with an inadequate structure for the level of care to which it is upgraded.

b) (i) (ii) (iii)

CORRECT DESCRIPTION OF NURSING CATEGORIES IN SOUTH AFRICA

There are three categories of nurses as follows:

Professional nurses /midwives (also called nursing sisters)
Enrolled Nurses
Enrolled Nurse Assistants

PRODUCTION OF NURSES

The training of midwives has been ongoing. Since 1986, all nurses doing the Bachelor degree programme in nursing, offered at universities, as well as the 4-year diploma programme in nursing, offered at nursing colleges, completed their training with a qualification as a midwife. The trend in output of both these nursing programmes, which produced professional nurses (with a midwifery qualification) is as follows:

3 528 in 2016,
3 322 in 2017 and,
3 564 in 2018.

It is envisaged, that this trend will continue in the following years until the teach-out period is reached in 2024.

Additional numbers of professional nurses were produced through the 2-year Bridging programme. These nurses could go on to do the 1-year diploma in Midwifery, which was offered.

In addition, the Department of Health prioritised midwifery by accrediting five provincial nursing colleges to take an additional intake in the second half of 2019 in order to increase the production of 4-year Diploma programme nurses (who will have midwifery as a qualification) and prevent shortages during the transition to higher education in 2020.

Production of enrolled nursing auxiliaries and enrolled nurses were through the old legacy of both one year and two-year programme, respectively. An overproduction of these categories resulted in many of these nurses not being employed over the last ten years. According to a survey by the South African Nursing Council, up to 60% of these nurses were not employed after completion of their studies.

The abovementioned basic nursing programmes, will be phased out by 2024 and replaced by the new nursing programmes as follows:

Bachelors degree Nursing & Midwifery National Qualification Framework (NQF) level 8 started 2020
Advanced midwifery NQF level 7 which will be phased in from 2021
Diploma in Nursing NQF 6
Higher Certificate nursing NQF 5

The above information shows that the shortage of nurses is not due to a lack of production of nurses.

OFFSETING OF SHORTAGES

On an Annual basis, a minimum of 3500 Community Services Professional Nurses joins the Public Health Sector, distributed across Provinces, mainly in rural and underserved areas where it is difficult to recruit.

During the period, January 2020 to 30 June 2020, 7393 Nurses were added to the Public Health Sector, which reduces the vacancy rate in the Nursing field with 27%. This is a giant step taken by the Public Health Sector to reduce the number of unemployed nurses to assist in managing, amongst others the Covid-19 pandemic.

CHALLENGES

The challenges observed amongst others include:

The lengthy time span it takes to fill vacant posts.

The non-appointment of community service nurses post their community service training due to budget constraints.

RESPONSE TO ALLEVIATE THE CHALLENGES

The Minister of Health, Dr ZweliMkhize, issued a directive in April 2020, instructing that the recruitment process should be shortened by advertising a post and effecting appointments within a period of a week, on condition that an appointment may be set aside depending on the outcome of personnel suitability checks and verification processes.

Since 2019, Province are expected to develop their Annual Human Resources Plan that includes recruitment plans making provision for the continued appointment of community services nurses post their community service training period. Since Covid-19 surge, a National Data Base System has also been created at the National Department where all unemployed health professionals including nurses are capture. Province have been given rights to access the database when required.

(1)With reference to certain incidents that took place in Polokwane on 30 June 2020 (details furnished), what are the reasons that the members of the emergency medical services (EMS) team at the Polokwane Provincial Hospital have not yet been issued with masks after months of lockdown to prepare the health system for the Covid-19 pandemic; (2) what number of other (a) EMS teams and (b) hospitals in Limpopo are still not equipped with the appropriate personal protective equipment, despite assurances that the Limpopo Department of Health has prepared for the growing pandemic; (3) whether he intends to take any action to ensure optimal availability of personal protective equipment in the Limpopo health sector; if not, why not; if so, what action?

Source

Reply:

1. All EMS personnel in Limpopo Province have been issued with personal protective equipment (PPE) from the onset of the lockdown. Limpopo Department of Health procured an additional 5000 three-layer cloth face masks and issued each employee with two face masks. EMS orders and collects PPE from the departmental pharmaceutical depot on a weekly basis to ensure that there is constant supply.

2. There are no EMS teams or hospitals that are not equipped with PPE. The Department has been supplying all the staff members with PPE since the start of the lockdown and the records of the department show no personnel without PPE.

3. In Limpopo, just like in other provinces, the department ensures that there is a constant supply of PPE that is available to issue to the staff hence there are no operational staff without PPE. The pharmaceutical depot orders the PPE which get supplied to various sections/institutions according to their needs.

Reply:

No, COVID-19 has had little impact on the filling of vacancies within the National Department of Health due to the fact that we issued directions in terms of regulation 10(1)(a) of the regulations made under section 27(2) of the Disaster Management Act, 2002, (Act 57 of 2002). Section 2(1) states that “the recruitment process in relation to critical COVID-19 related posts should be shortened by advertising a post and effecting appointments within a period of a week, on condition that an appointment may be set aside depending on the outcome of personnel suitability checks and verification processes…”

A total of 332 appointments have been made in the National Department of Health since the declaration of a COVID-19 disaster, 304 of which are critical posts.

Reply:

We had requested provinces to provide us with a full breakdown of Health Care Workers who had acquired the Coronavirus. In addition the Hospital Association of South Africa (HASA) provided us with data from the private sector. We now share the data collated and verified as at 4 August 2020.

The total number of 27,360 health care workers were reported. Of those, 6,027 (22%) were from the private sector and 21,333 (78%) were from the public sector. The overall infection rate amongst health care workers as compared to the total number of cases identified nationally is 5% which is well below the global average of 10%.

A total of 1,644 (6%) of these health care workers were doctors, 14,143 (52%) were nurses, 28 (less than 1%) were Port Health workers and 11,545 (42%) were from other categories of health workers.

Sadly, 240 of our health care workers have succumbed to COVID-19, 37 from the private sector and 203 from the public sector. We salute these fallen soldiers and pay tribute to them for their commitment to serving the people of South Africa right until the very end. We extend our condolences to all the family, friends and col-leagues of these valuable members of society.

The mortality rate amongst health care workers is 0,9%.

The number of health care workers reported to have recovered as at 4 August 2020 is 16,005, which translates to a 58% recovery rate amongst health care workers.

The Provincial Breakdown is as reflected in the following table.

Table 1

Reply:

a) The National Health Laboratory Service (NHLS) had backlogs in the testing for COVID-19 in the Western Cape, Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal and Eastern Cape Provinces. The Western Cape has cleared the backlog and is currently processing specimens as they receive them. Eastern Cape, KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng have managed to significantly reduce their backlogs. Free State, Limpopo, Mpumalanga, North West and Northern Cape have no backlogs.

b) The backlogs were caused by the global shortage of extraction kits and the polymerise chain reaction (PCR) test kits for the high throughput analysers.

c) The NHLS has increased the number of extraction instruments and diversified the testing platforms so that they have multiple suppliers of testing kits. They have implemented alternative methods of extraction e.g. heat deactivation method for extraction and more targeted and focused testing to allow better use of limited resources.

Reply:

The following are the key interventions that the National Department of Health has implemented:

1. Guidelines issued on Mental Health Interventions during the Covid-19 disaster dated 02 April 2020

The National Department of Health developed and provided guidelines on mental health interventions that should be implemented during the Covid-19 disaster. These were made available for implementation to the Heads of Health Departments in all nine provinces; Facility Managers of designated facilities in terms of the Mental Health Care Act, 2002; Psychiatric Hospitals, Care and Rehabilitation Centres; Residential Mental Health Facilities run by Non-Governmental Organizations; Private Psychiatric Hospitals and Contracted Mental Health Facilities; Health District Chief Directors; Health Care Providers (Public and private); and Mental Health Review Boards (MHRBs).

The objectives of the Guidelines are to:

1.1 Provide information to promote and protect the mental well-being of the population, and to raise awareness about mental disorders and mental health problems that may arise due to the Covid-19 outbreak;
1.2 Direct Heads of Health Establishments, Mental Health Facility Managers, Health Care Providers, Multi-Disciplinary Specialist Mental Health Teams, and informal caregivers, on actions to be taken to identify and manage mental health problems and mental disorders arising out of the Covid-19 disaster;
1.3 Ensure that psychiatric/mental facilities comply with measures that have already being prescribed to manage the Covid-19 outbreak;
1.4 Provide directives for Mental Health Review Boards to ensure that there is continuity in their oversight functions with regards to assisted and involuntary mental health care and rehabilitation; and
1.5 Provide directives for inpatient mental health care, treatment and rehabilitation services, outpatient and primary health care services.

2. Psychosocial support for health workers during the Covid-19 pandemic

Interventions on mental health and emotional support (Psychosocial support) for healthcare workers is a requirement as prescribed by the Occupational Health and Safety Act, 1993 (Act No. 85 of 1993), the Department of Labour Occupational Health Policy of 2005, and the International Instruments underpinning Employee Health and Wellness Management. In the public services environment these interventions are provided according to the Department of Public Service Employee Health and Wellness Strategic Framework for the Public Service (2019).

As a response to the Covid-19 pandemic the following interventions, among others, have been undertaken by the National Department of Health:

1. The Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Work-Stream was established to provide guidance and interventions on “Psychosocial Support for Health Workers” during the Covid-19 pandemic. This work-stream has representation from academic departments of occupational medicine, professional societies, trade unions, and key stakeholder government departments such as the Departments for the Public Service and Administration (DPSA), of Employment and Labour and the National Institute for Occupational Health (NICD);
2. Similar work-streams were established in all nine provinces to facilitate and oversee the implementation of the Occupational Health and Safety interventions;
3. Guidelines on Psychosocial Support for Health Workers during the Covid-19 were developed by the mental health sub-group in the OHS work-stream and distributed to health and social service workers. The guide provides evidence-based integrated interventions on prevention of anxiety and stress related problems, management of these problems at the frontline by managers, stress inoculation and psycho-education strategies, mental health support and treatment interventions;
4. Employees that have been identified to have developed a mental condition are identified and referred to professional mental health practitioners;
5. Health Professional Associations, Psychiatrists, Psychologists, Medical Practitioners and Social Workers have offered psychological support services throughout the Country and have been organized in a Health Workers Network to offer free telephonic and online services across public and private sectors. These services have augmented the existing National Crisis Line that the Department contracted to Lifeline, the professional mental health services available in public facilities as well as Employee Health and Wellness Programmes that were available at each workplace. The South African Depression and Anxiety Group (SADAG) has also offered mental health and counseling support to healthcare professionals; and
6. About 1200 Unemployed Social Workers are being recruited and will be deployed to provinces to augment the Covid-19 response and the Employee Health and Wellness Programmes with funding from the Health and Welfare SETA.

3. Mental Health and well-being for those in quarantine and isolation

The guidelines for quarantine and isolation in relation to Covid-19 exposure and infection that were published on 05 May 2020 provide for the emotional health aspects during isolation or quarantine.
