Wilson, Ms ER to ask the Minister of Health
In light of the budget constraints in the public health sector, particularly at provincial level, (a) what has it cost his department to accommodate repatriated South Africans at the quarantine sites to date and (b) from which budget(s) were or will the costs be paid?
Reply:
(a) The State’s position has always been to first utilise state-owned facilities before utilising private facilities, the cost would differ based on facility availability, type of facility and ownership thereof.
For private-owned facilities the operational costs are included in the rate negotiated with the facilities and excludes all clinical services. The rate is negotiated by the Department of Public Works and Infrastructure (DPWI) for each site and as such the National Department of Health does not get involved in this other than to provide the clinical and support services.
The costs therefore would be a combination of costs associated with the clinical services, support services and operationalisation of these sites as carried by the Department of Health and the procurement of private facilities as currently carried by the Department of Public Works and Infrastructure.
(b) The Department of Public Works and Infrastructure will be responsible for the infrastructure costs relating to quarantine facilities and the Department of Health will be responsible for the operationalization costs of the quarantine facilities.

Ismail, Ms H to ask the Minister of Health
Why do quarantine protocols relating to the testing of persons differ from one site and/or facility to the next, as persons in the different sites and/or facilities are tested either on arrival or only after the expiry of 11 to 14 days of quarantine?
Reply:
As per the approved GUIDELINES FOR QUARANTINE AND ISOLATION IN RELATION TO COVID-19 EXPOSURE AND INFECTION it states that: “Because some quarantined people might be COVID-19 positive (or might become positive during the quarantine period), individuals in quarantine facilities must be kept under individual quarantine (self-quarantine) within the facility. Those who develop symptoms {meet the person-under-investigation (PUI) criteria} should be tested and managed appropriately.” It also indicates the following: “The recommended duration of quarantine for COVID-19 exposure is 14 days from the time of exposure (close contact or entering the country). If the patient remains well during the period of quarantine, they do not need to test/retest at the end of the 14-day period.”
There are certain circumstances that necessitate testing and others that do not. Testing is dependent on the risk assessment of the individual at any specific point in time.

Montwedi, Mr Mk to ask the Minister of Health
Whether his department has plans to accredit laboratories in public hospitals to test for Covid-19; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, by what date will hospitals be accredited?
Reply:
All the laboratories in public hospitals that test for COVID-19 are part of the National Health Laboratory Service (NHLS). These laboratories are accredited with the Standard ISO 15189. Furthermore, all laboratories participate in the external quality assurance and proficiency testing schemes to ensure quality results.

Chirwa, Ms NN to ask the Minister of Health
Following the admission by the Office of The Presidency that information regarding Covid-19 was being withheld from the public, (a) what are the details of the information that is being withheld from the public, (b) how will the specified information affect public responses and (c) what is the true status of hospitals in handling the pandemic?
Reply:
(a)-(b) We are unsure which statement from the Presidency this question refers to. However there have been media requests for the modeling done by various groups to be made public. The National Department of Health convened a public symposium of all modelers on Thursday the 21st of May 2020 during which the models, together with the assumptions used for the modeling outputs were presented.
(c) Hospitals in the public sector are currently being prepared to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic. General beds are being repurposed into critical care beds and field hospitals are being built jin many provinces. In addition, a national ventilator project has been established by DTI and donations have been received (for example 1,000 ventilators donated by the US government - of which 50 have already been received).

Ismail, Ms H to ask the Minister of Health
(1)In light of the shortage of test kits to test for the presence of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, which causes the Covid-19 disease, what steps is he taking in this regard; (2) whether he or his department has taken any steps to reduce the turnaround time of four to five days for the release of the results; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details; (3) whether he intends to take any steps with regard to the general shortage of test kits and the very limited quantities available for testing in the testing sites and mass-screening areas which cause delays for effective testing; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant steps?
Reply:
(1) There is a global need for test kits with countries in the north taking up the majority of the kits that are available given the large number of positive patients in these countries. This has resulted in a global shortage of test kits. The Department has worked with the National Health Laboratory Service to increase the number of test kits that are available to South Africa. The Minister has engaged with some of the manufacturers of test kits to encourage them to increase the number of test kits that they supply to South Africa. A challenge is that the limited number of flights from countries that manufacture the test kits adds to the challenges being experienced.
(2) Yes, steps have been taken to reduce the turnaround time. In-hospital admission, patients under investigation are prioritised, and the turnaround time for these patients will be reduced to 48 hours. The turnaround time for the other samples are being addressed through utilisation of academic platform testing sites and private laboratories, as well as increased output at NHLS laboratories. Over the last week the number of tests have increased from 51,000/week to about 60,000/week.
As a result of the global shortage of COVID-19 test kits, including extraction kits, the criteria for testing has been amended. The Department has prioritised testing of patients in hospitals with respiratory conditions, as well as people who have had contact with a known positive patient as well as health care workers. As soon as serological (antibody) tests are registered by the South African Health Products Regulatory Authority (SAPHRA) these will be used for population level surveillance to get prevalence rates.
(3) As noted above, the criteria for testing have been changed. We have halted mass testing as the target that was set of 14 million people screened through community screening has been achieved and we have moved to targeted screening and testing. In addition, as mentioned the number of laboratories that test for COVID-19 has increased. With respect to antibody testing, the NHLS and SAPHRA are fast tracking the validation and registration of these tests. However, it should be noted that these tests will largely be used for surveillance with the PCR test used to test individual patients for acute infections.

Ismail, Ms H to ask the Minister of Health
(1)How often are health care professional staff tested, given that they are front line staff dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic; (2) whether a health care professional may refuse to test a person who wants to be tested; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
1. The health professional staff are not tested routinely except if they have symptoms of Covid-19 or fulfil the criteria of a high-risk exposure with a person who tested positive with Covid-19. They may after seven days of self-isolation be clinically evaluated and tested on day 8 with the possibility of early return to work if they have a negative test and are clinically well. They will continue to be monitored for symptoms till day 14 and are counselled on personal hygiene measures. Health professional staff are monitored daily through symptom screening.
The rationale is that there are not enough test kits and targeted testing is needed. Risk assessments in health care settings, use of public health measures, personal hygiene, training on Covid-19 and personal protective equipment all contribute to a lowered risk of transmission exposure.
2. The health care professional cannot refuse to clinically evaluate and test the person based on the national Department of Health guideline of prioritized testing for patients in hospitals with respiratory conditions as well as health care workers.

Motsepe, Ms CCS to ask the Minister of Health
What measures does he intend to take to regulate retail stores which have emerged as a dangerous point of infection for COVID-19 to stop the surge in infections at such centres?
Reply:
Information from a number of provinces including the Eastern Cape, Gauteng, Kwazulu-Natal and Western Cape shows that during the lockdown retail stores became a node for the transmission of COVID-19. This should not surprise us as grocery shops were one of the essential parts of the economy that had to be kept open with high volumes of people congregating in them. Thus facilitating the spread of the virus. This also meant that infected shoppers – many of whom may have been asymptomatic (that is they didn’t know that they were infected) also infected employees in the retail sector. These employees then go back to their communities and the virus spreads in their local communities.
Provinces have implemented a number of steps to mitigate the risk of transmission in retail stores. In the Western Cape the Department of Economic Affairs and Tourism had several engagements with the owners and management of small and large retail outlets and mall management. They were provided with guidelines on the prevention of COVID-19 transmission, including deep cleaning, dealing with personal hygiene, dealing with staff that become symptomatic, making public announcements, etc. In Gauteng, the MECs for health and economic affairs met with the leadership of the retail sector in the province to discuss the implementation of measures to prevent transmission of the virus, including hand washing/ sanitizing and social distancing as well as the use of masks. The major retail stores are currently implementing these measures nation-wide. In the Eastern Cape, health officials have visited retail stores in urban areas to monitor compliance.
Workplace health and safety issues were also discussed at NEDLAC. These included the need to conduct risk assessments in all workplaces, implementation of public health measures to prevent the spread of the virus as well as personal hygiene measures. It was also agreed that sector specific guidelines will be produced and implemented

Chirwa, Ms NN to ask the Minister of Health
Given that the Republic is supposed to be testing 12 times the number of persons for COVID-19 than what is currently the case, (a) what steps is he taking to increase the number of tests done, (b) by what date will the target be reached, (c)(i) what is the range of the tests being utilised currently and (ii) how will the variety be increased to match the target minimum of 3 000 tests daily and (d) will the SARS-CoV-2 or COVID-19 rapid tests which detect infection in just 20 minutes be secured?
Reply:
a) There is no policy to increase testing by 12 times. However the National Health Laboratory Service (NHLS) has been steadily increasing the number of COVID-19 tests that they are conducting. Cumulatively as at 02 June 785,979 tests have been done with 51% done in the public sector with the remainder in the private sector.
b) On average over the past 14 days, an average of 19,024 tests are being done daily, and in the previous two weeks the average number of tests done per day were 15,471.
c) (i) Currently both public and private laboratories are using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test. The South African Health Products Regulatory Authority (SAHPRA) is in the process of evaluating the rapid antibody tests;
(ii) As more test kits as well as the rapid antibody tests become available and more people are referred for testing the rate at which we test will increase – it should be noted that we have already surpassed the 3,000 tests done daily as shown above.
d) SAHPRA is in the process of evaluating the rapid tests for quality and once they are registered they will be used - largely for surveillance to assess how many people have antibodies which means that they have had the virus.

There are a number of sites on standby but is only activated as and when the Province deem it necessary to accommodate patients and or PUI's.
(b) There is currently 64 privately owned and 72 state owned facilities utilised. The following types of facilities are being utilised:

These sites were assessed for their suitability against a set of guidelines that looks at their locality, access to the site, ventilation, basic infrastructure requirements like access to electricity and water and then space for each occupant.
(c) There is a list of equipment requirements provided for in the guideline that include the following:
|
Minimum Equipment |
|
Clinical gloves (latex, single-use gloves for clinical care) |
|
N95 masks – only for aerosol generating procedures (taking of specimens) Medical/Surgical masks |
|
Aprons - disposable |
|
Sharps containers |
|
Red health risk waste bags to be in health care risk waste box with biohazard sign |
|
Alcohol-based hand sanitiser |
|
Liquid hand wash |
|
Clean single-use towels (e.g. paper towels) |
|
Cleaning gloves (reusable vinyl or rubber gloves for environmental cleaning) |
|
Appropriate detergent for environmental cleaning and disinfectant for disinfection of surfaces, instruments or equipment |
|
Large plastic bag for general waste (black or transparent) |
|
Linen bags |
|
Collection container for used equipment |
What has been issued to each site is dependent on the type of site and their own commitment to the cause. In the Western Cape for example some privately owned sites only required masks, gloves, bioboxes and red bags. The rest were provided by the establishment themselves.
(d) A standard set of training is conducted by Provincial Departments of Health related to the following:
- Training of healthcare professional on SOPs that needs to be followed at the quarantine centres for daily examination, movements in the facility, infection prevention control measures and use of PPE kit etc.
- Paramedical staff (staff nurses, medics, pharmacist etc) need to be trained on SOPs to be followed at quarantine/isolation centres and use of PPE.
- Support staff (housekeepers/cleaners, caterers, security staff, drivers and general duty staff) need to be trained on the use of masks, gloves, cleaning and disinfection procedures and use of PPE kit, etc.
- When a new staff member is assigned to a quarantine/isolation site, it needs to be ensured that he/she has received proper training before undertaking the work.
- All training should emphasise that all activities/procedures must be done under the strict monitoring and observation of trained specialists.
The exact numbers of people trained at these facilities is currently unknown.
(e) The costs associated at each of these centres varies and is dependent on the type of facility, who owns it and what the commitment is from each related to the cause. Private facilities in the hospitality industry is paid per person per night. For that they provide the full accommodation and catering support function, and the Provincial departments pick up the bill related to any clinical and waste management services. Costs associated with that range between R850 to R1200 per night per person. This includes accommodation and two meals per day.
For public facilities, again depending on the type of facility the cost would vary. From a priority perspective, public facilities already equipped with linen, beds and other basic furniture and services were first activated. In more dire times the Department is preparing public facilities by procurement of all beds, furnishing and operational equipment to activate facilities as a second priority. However, in the short term there is a heavy reliance on privately owned facilities where the moneys paid, also strengthened the tourism industry where no income could be generated.
The procurement of Health Technology equipment is also not done in bulk and at a rapid rate to make provision and address the demands that Covid-19 is placing on the department. Equipment is issued to where it is needed and includes Medical, Isolation and Quarantine facilities so to isolate the costs to only quarantine facilities is difficult at present.

Van Staden, Mr PA to ask the Minister of Health
(1)With reference to the transfer of baby Edward Erasmus between various hospitals (details furnished), (a) what were the complications during his birth, (b) what was done at the John Daniel Newberry Hospital to stabilise the baby during the complications, (c) why there was no oxygen available at the Dihlabeng Regional Hospital to assist the baby, (d) why did the Universitas Academic Hospital in Bloemfontein send the baby to the Intensive Care Unit without informing the parents, (e) why was the life support machine disconnected without the consent of the parents and (f) why did the Universitas Academic Hospital in Bloemfontein refuse to provide the postmortem certificate to the parents; (2) whether he will make a statement on the matter?
Reply:
1. (a) The mother (21 years old) delivered the baby (the mother's third delivery) at Clocolan, JD Newberry District Hospital with a reported history of meconium stained liquor and Apgar score of 5/10 and 6/10 at 1 minute and 5 minutes respectively. The mother arrived un-booked as a result no ultrasound was done antenatally. The baby was preterm estimated gestation age of 34-35 weeks with low birth weight (1,98 kg). In addition the following were found: Dysmorphic features and multiple congenital anomalies, anorectal malformation - imperforate anus, bilateral renal malformation - confirmed by kidney ultrasound, severe respiratory distress - most likely due to lung hypoplasia during pregnancy and upper gastrointestinal bleeding.
(b)-(c) The patient was transferred to the Neonatal ICU at the Dihlabeng Regional Hospital where the baby was put on a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machine to assist the baby to breathe. As the baby's respiratory distress worsened the medical officer decided to transfer the patient Universitas Academic Hospital.
(d) The baby's condition was critical and it was transported via air transport, given respiratory support via CPAP. On arrival at Universitas Academic Hospital the baby was admitted to the Neonatal ICU as his condition required life support - at no stage did parents raise the issue of objection to the baby being put on life support.
(e) The baby died while on life support machines and his parents were allowed to hold the baby whilst he was still intubated.
(f) A post-mortem was offered to the parents but they refused.
2. Yes.

Ismail, Ms H to ask the Minister of Health
(1)(a) What number of hospitals are ready to treat patients infected by the coronavirus and (b) does each hospital have the necessary equipment and supplies to ensure the safety of professional health staff; (2) what (a) number of public clinics are equipped to handle patients with the coronavirus and (b) precautions will be taken in the event of a breakout of the virus; (3) on what basis will the decision be made to ban travel to and out of the Republic; (4) what education campaign programmes are in place to ensure that South Africans are properly guided and informed with regard to the steps to take when they suspect they may have the disease?
Reply:
1. (a) The number of hospitals ready to treat COVID-19 patients is 262 hospitals.
(b) The Department conducts weekly audits on the availability, requirements and current equipment and commodities in hospitals. Where challenges are found they are highlighted to provincial officials to intervene.
2. (a) All (3467 Primary Health Care facilities/clinics) are provided with the national protocols through their provinces for handling corona virus suspected patients and are submitting individual questionnaires on their readiness to respond to the pandemic.
(b) Precautions to be taken in the event of an outbreak in Clinics include use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE's) by all staff; ensuring effective triage facilities are in place to separate patients with COVID-19 symptoms from those without symptoms, rapid and safe referral of patients to hospitals for patients who need to be hospitalised.
(3) The initial transmission of the COVID-19 virus was from imported cases from high risk countries. The ban on travel in/out of the country is purely to disrupt transmission from other countries, especially high risk countries.
(4) A comprehensive Risk Communication and Stakeholder Engagement (RCCE) Strategy has been developed as guided by the International Health Regulations of the World Health Organisation.
Some of the Objectives of this strategy are:
- To ensure that people have the life-saving information they need to protect themselves and others (from the virus and to reduce its impact on health, social life, and the economy)
- To ensure consistency in information and language from all partners and avoid misinformation/rumours.
- To inform the general public how the public health response is being conducted and health authorities are being pro-active in monitoring, detecting, and preventing the spread of COVID-19.
To ensure participation of and engagement with relevant communities to work out barriers to the implementation and uptake of public health measures.

King, Ms C to ask the Minister of Health
What number of false-positive test results for Covid-19 were detected in each province since the declaration of a national state of disaster?
Reply:
There have been claims of false positive results, however, it is difficult to confirm the claims because the same sample needs to be tested to determine if there are inconsistent results. The results are determined by the amount of virus in the sample and this can differ if samples are taken at different times. The National Health Laboratory Service (NHLS) will conduct external quality assurance and proficiency testing schemes to determine the quality of results. Proficiency testing schemes are performed by providing participants with test samples for analysis and determine how closely their results agree with the accepted values. Regular participation in a proficiency testing scheme provides staff with an insight into their laboratory’s performance, benchmark performance with that of the other participant laboratories and demonstrate to end user of analytical data, regulatory bodies and accreditation bodies that there is a commitment to measuring quality.

Ismail, Ms H to ask the Minister of Health
What (a) are the relevant details of all tenders awarded by his department for psychiatric drugs at each province and (b) measurements are put in place by his department to ensure that there is always a full range of drugs for psychiatric patients at the hospitals?
Reply:
a) Tenders for pharmaceuticals are awarded at a National level. Provinces, as participants to the contract, procure pharmaceuticals using the National contract. The contract information for all pharmaceuticals are available on the Department of Health’s website. The contract details for psychiatric medicines is attached as Annexure A.
b) The medicine selection process is an evidence-based clinical peer review process aimed at determining which medicines are most appropriate for use in South Africa. The Standard Treatment Guidelines and Essential Medicines List available as an application for your cell phone provides guidance to clinical practitioners on the safe and appropriate use of medicines for specific indications. There are chapters that are dedicated to psychiatry in the Standard Treatment Guidelines.
In preparation for the award of tenders, forecasting is done in collaboration with provinces using a defined methodology. The tender forecast is enriched using epidemiological data often in consultation with content experts such as psychiatrists. Furthermore, in accordance with the conditions of contract, suppliers are obliged to maintain two months of buffer. Additionally, there are contract managers who actively manage supplier performance to ensure that medicines are available.
Electronic stock management systems have also been implemented at facilities that provide the necessary information to managers at appropriate levels to intervene should the need arise.

Ismail, Ms H to ask the Minister of Health
(1)Has any extensive research been commissioned by his department on fibroids; if not, why not; if so, what are all the relevant details; (2) has any treatment been diagnosed to treat fibroids effectively; if not, why not; if so, what are all the relevant details; (3) does his department have any awareness campaigns on fibroids; if not, why not; if so, what are all the relevant details?
Reply:
(1) No, fibroids are common but do not necessarily pose a health problem unless it is associated with any other underlying condition such as infertility or abnormal vaginal bleeding.
(2) Fibroids do not necessarily need treatment. Women are often diagnosed with fibroids when they are investigated for other gynaecological symptoms they are presenting with. The treatment is therefore symptomatic and will range from management of anaemia, surgical intervention to treat infertility and pain management with antibiotics to treat lower abdominal pains.
(3) No, because fibroids were not counted routinely as one of the leading causes of maternal morbidity and mortality. They are asymptomatic thus it’s not easy to identify and there is no routine screening and management protocol just for fibroids.

Hlengwa, Ms MD to ask the Minister of Health
Whether he and/or his department has considered offers from foreign-trained medical professionals who are willing to offer their assistance to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic; if not, why not; if so, what are the full relevant details?
Reply:
Yes. It is imperative to ensure that as the Country is responding to the Covid-19 pandemic, there are sufficient skilled health professionals to attend to the patient continuum from screening services to hospitalisation. In accordance with the South African Regulations, consideration is first given to South African Citizen health professionals that are available and if numbers are insufficient, foreign nationals are considered in a systematic order.
First is through Government-to-Government Agreements looking at required skills from foreign nationals. In this process the Health Professional Council of South Africa (HPCSA) is engaged to check the quality of training and skills of these foreign nationals.
In the same spirit, individual foreign nationals who wish to practice their medical trade in South Africa are given an opportunity in accordance with the Immigration Act on condition that they fulfil all the requirements as outlined by the HPCSA.
South Africa has since approached China, Cuba and Russia through existing Government-to-Government agreements for assistance.
To date the Republic of Cuba has availed 187 Medical Specialists (i.e. Biostatistics, Epidemiologists, Family Physicians, Health Technologists) where the Country is unable to produce enough, who will be assisting in the response to Covid-19.
In all other cases, foreign health professionals who wish to assist during Covid-19, such health professionals must first meet the HPCSA requirements to be considered.

Komane, Ms RN to ask the Minister of Health
(1)What amount has been spent by her department (a) to build a clinic in Ward 29 of Makolokwe in the Rustenburg Local Municipality and (b) on (i) maintenance and (ii) provision of security; (2) whether the clinic is operational; if not, why not; if so, what number of (a) nurses and (b) administrative staff are employed?
Reply:
(a) It is not true that the clinic in Makolokwe ward 29 is dysfunctional. Makolokwe health post is not a fully-fledged clinic and as such it operates for limited number of days. This health post is visited by a mobile clinic twice per week. It is supported by Bethanie clinic which is about 7km away which provides 24 hour services. Due to the small catchment population and its proximity to Bethanie clinic the facility could not be made a fully-fledged clinic. The structure is a health post that was built in 2004-2005 financial year.
(b) The costs for the structure at the time was approximately R 450 000.
(c) The Department is currently investigating the details of the service provider because this facility was built 15 years ago.

Ismail, Ms H to ask the Minister of Health
Whether there are any special considerations and/or arrangements that are in place to allow children and/or close relatives to visit a dying parent or family member who is accommodated in a quarantine site; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details of the officials and/or offices that members of the public can approach for assistance with such cases?
Reply:
Quarantine is for people or groups who are asymptomatic, but who may be infected with COVID-19. They are thus generally healthy. In cases where a patient has become ill, they would either be sent to an isolation facility if found to be positive, and if they are found to be critical would be admitted to a hospital for care. Quarantine facilities are thus utilised for healthy people that are awaiting the incubation period of the virus. As soon as a person becomes ill, they will be moved out of quarantine to obtain appropriate clinical care.

Hicklin, Ms MB to ask the Minister of Health
(1)What is the current package of benefits being offered through the National Health Insurance (NHI) to intended beneficiaries; (2) how does his department intend integrating existing and future health records of all patients registered on the NHI; (3) how can patients who are registered on the NHI in one province be guaranteed that accurate medicine records are available if the specified patient attempts to access treatment in a different province and/or from one primary healthcare facility to another within city boundaries that are not adequately available; (4) how will the countrywide integration of records be achieved?
Reply:
1. The 2017 White Paper on NHI states that NHI will cover comprehensive health care services that are determined by The Benefits Advisory Committee. These services will be delivered through certified and accredited health care providers located closest to the covered population. South Africans will be able to access personal health care services to achieve allocative efficiency, affordability and sustainability using a Primary Health Care (PHC) Approach. Currently there is no package of benefits that is being offered through NHI to intended beneficiaries. The reasons for this are as follows:
a) The package of health care benefits must first be determined by the Benefits Advisory Committee as outlined in Clauses 4(1) and 7(1) of the NHI Bill. The NHI Fund, in consultation with the Minister must purchase health care services, determined by the Benefits Advisory Committee, for the benefit of users. Clause 6 (a) further outlines that intended beneficiaries can receive necessary quality health care services free at the point of care from an accredited health care provider or health establishment upon proof of registration with the Fund. Clause 25(5)(a) of the Bill further outlines that the Benefits Advisory Committee must determine and review the health care service benefits and types of services to be reimbursed at each level of care at primary health care facilities and at district, regional and tertiary hospitals.
b) The intended beneficiaries of NHI are yet to be concluded but as outlined in Clause 4 (4) of the Bill, must be registered as a user of the Fund as provided for in Section 5 of the Bill, and must present proof of such registration to the health care service provider or health establishment in order to secure the health care service benefits to which he or she is entitled. Currently this has not materialised as it is still awaiting the approval of the Bill by Parliament;
Therefore, the package of benefits can only be determined and offered once the Benefits Advisory Committee has been established for intended beneficiaries that have been registered with the NHI Fund.
2. The National Department of Health is undertaking preparatory work with specific reference the development of the NHI Information Platform as outlined in section 40 of the NHI Bill and section 57 (2) (iii) on transitional arrangements. This is also guided by section 74 (1) and (2) of the National Health Act, that stipulates how coordination of the Health Information Systems must be undertaken. Further to the above the integration of existing and future health records of all patients will take into account the provision of the Protection of Personal Information Act number 4 of 2013.
The integration of patient records will require a digital platform that uses a Health Normative Standards Framework for Interoperability supported by a Health Information Exchange. Interventions to achieve this are outlined in Pillar 9 of the Presidential Health Compact and include:
(a) The development of procedures and systems for the identity verification of users of the health system.
(b) Establishment of a patient registry through the implementation of a Master Patient Index.
3. The preamble of the NHI Bill states that the objective of NHI is to ensure continuity and portability of financing and services throughout the Republic.
Section 40 (6) (b) of the NHI Bill states that the information platform and architecture must facilitate the portability and continuity of health care available to users. This will be facilitated by the development and implementation of a shared Electronic Health Record (EHR).
The key components of a shared Electronic Health Record, that also include accurate medicine records, are the Master Patient Index, Interoperability Norms and Standards and the Health Information Exchange as referred to in the response( 2) above.
4. The country will achieve the integration of records by the creation and implementation of a digital platform and architecture for a shared Electronic Health Record.
The Department has published the Digital Health Strategy 2019-2024 which guides intervention towards the integration of Health Records. The focus areas include:
- a complete Electronic Health Record, which will improve patient management
- the digitisation of health systems business processes
- establishing an integrated platform and architecture for the health sector information system, which will ensure interoperability and linkage of existing patient-based information systems
- the development of digital health knowledge workers

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR MINISTER
Measures are in place to screen and respond to persons suspected of Corona Virus (COVID-19) from entering the Republic at border posts, this includes air, sea and land ports of entry.
The department has employed officials as Port Health Officials (PHOs) deployed at ports of entry to early detect a traveller who may be infected with COVID-19. The measures implemented to ensure early detection are as follows:
1. Land Borders
Health officials conduct an interview with operator to determine if a sick passenger is onboard. If sick passenger/s is onboard/identified, health officials conducts interview with sick passenger . If found that passenger/s displayed symptoms consistent with COVID-19 and consistent with the case definition, passenger/s are kept in isolation and transported to a designated health facility by ambulance.
2. Airports
Screening measures for airports are three, done in a three-phased approach :
- The recieval and analyses of documentation signed by the conveyance operator, declaring if any sick passenger/s are onboard the aircraft, which is in line with requirements of the International Health Regulations (2005).
- The interview of crew members before disembarkation to confirm whether any sick passengers are onboard.
- In line with WHO and International Civil Aviation Authority (IATA), pilots must inform the port of entry of arrival beforehand of any sick passenger onboard.
If any sick passenger/s are onboard an aircraft, PHO’s will be notified and screening of travellers conducted before disembarkation. Screening includes conducting interviews and medical assessment of sick traveller/s and identifying contacts. The sick passenger/s is/are then transported to a designated health facility by ambulance if found to be displaying symptoms of COVID-19.
3. Sea Ports
Ship operators apply for pratique(permission granted to a ship to enter a port after declaring a clean bill of health of all on board) to port health before docking on the Republic’s shore. If the Captain indicates there is a sick passenger onboard, Port Health notifies Emergency Medical Services and the designated health facility. On arrival prior to disembarkation, health officials conduct interviews and medical assessment of sick traveller/s and contacts identified. The sick passenger is then transported to a designated health facility by ambulance if found to be displaying symptoms of COVID-19.
Though the Health measures have been increased to deal with the current Public Health Emergency of International Concern it is important to note that Port Health Services are rendered on an ongoing basis even outside of Public Health Emergency of International Concern, what has been provided for is an increase of existing measures through addition of resources and modification in operational screening activities.

Ismail, Ms H to ask the Minister of Health
(1)What is the total cost to his department of the public hearings regarding the National Health Insurance; (2) what is the breakdown of the specified costs in each (a) province and (b) municipality?
Reply:
1. The total cost to the Department for attending the Public Hearings on the NHI Bill is R841,521.64;
2. (a) The table below gives the provincial breakdown of the cost to the Department for attending the public hearing on the NHI Bill;
(b) The breakdown to municipal level is complex as travel and accommodation was arranged at central locations and in most cases not in the specific locations of where the hearing was conducted. Thus making it difficult to ascribe specific costs to individual municipalities.

Bagraim, Mr M to ask the Minister of Health
(1)Whether his department will offer any form of Covid-19 financial and/or other relief to small businesses; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details; (2) whether the Covid-19 financial or other relief will only be allocated to qualifying small businesses according to the Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment Act, Act 53 of 2003, as amended; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, (a) on what statutory grounds and/or provisions does he or his department rely to allocate Covid-19 financial or other relief only to small businesses according to the specified Act and (b) what form of Covid-19 financial or other relief, if any, will be made available to other small businesses?
Reply:
1. The competence to assist Small Businesses is a constitutional mandate of the Department of Small Businesses. The Department of Health is mandated in terms of the National Health Act to provide a framework for structured uniform health system for South Africa. The Department does therefore not grant financial relief or resources to Small Businesses.
2. The raised question does not fall under the mandate of the Department of Health, but having said that the Department with National Treasury encourage all small businesses to register their details on the Central Supplier Database to be able to be contacted to for supplies of inter alia Personal Protective Equipment. To date more the database contains more than 7,000 registered suppliers.

Ismail, Ms H to ask the Minister of Health
Whether his department has worked with other departments to ensure that the necessary systems are in place to screen and/or test frontline staff (details furnished) daily to ensure their safety; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
Workplaces in different sectors of the economy, other than essential services which have been operating during Level 5, are preparing for return to work in line with the Department of Employment and Labour directive (GN 43257 issued on 29 April 2020) and the Department of Public Service and Administration circular (Circular No. 18 of 2020 issued on 1 May 2020).
Symptom screening interventions and targeted testing of employees are proposed in the different notices. The national Department of Health and the NICD has provided guidelines on symptom screening and testing of all employees. The national Department of Health is not involved in the screening and/or testing of the frontline staff in the other departments and at local government level.

Ismail, Ms H to ask the Minister of Health
(1)Whether he will furnish Ms H Ismail with a full report of the shortages of personal protective equipment and hand sanitisers in public health facilities; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details; (2) how does his department intend to reimburse healthcare staff who are exceeding their overtime hours due to the Covid-19 pandemic?
Reply:
1. Yes, of the 1 854 facilities reporting stock availability information, the overall availability at these facilities across all personal protective equipment including hand sanitisers is 62.7%.
There is stock available at all facilities in all provinces. However, there are some facilities that are reporting an out of stock of some items.
2. The Department allocates overtime within the prescribed Public Service Regulation of 2016 as amended, section 49(1)(c). However, should there be proof that there are healthcare workers who are or exceeded their planned overtime hours due to Covid-19, they will be reimbursed through a request for approval from the Department of Public Service and Administration to deviate from the regulation to exceed the 30% threshold of employees’ monthly salary or the limitation determined by the Minister of Public Service and Administration, whichever is the lesser.
The Department is committed in ensuring that all healthcare staff work within the prescribed regulations to avoid such, if occurred.

Chirwa, Ms NN to ask the Minister of Health
What is the strategy to curb new community infections of the coronavirus since the lockdown to curb the spread of Covid-19 has not manifested in tangible outcomes for reducing new infections in communities?
Reply:
The lockdown has been shown by modeling exercises to have had two impacts on the COVID-19 pandemic. The lockdown has reduced the peak of infections and shifted the epidemic curve to the right. This means that it is estimated that the number of infections at the peak will be lower and that it will happen later thus enabling the health system to have additional time to prepare for the peak of infections. In his address on 24 May, the President outlined measures to strengthen prevention and to intervene in the hotspot districts.

Hlengwa, Ms MD to ask the Minister of Health
(1)What are the costs per day for each person who is placed under quarantine by the State; (2) whether he has found that the process of quarantine may be open to corruption; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
1. The State’s position has always been to first utilise state-owned facilities before private facilities are to be utilised and thus, the cost per person per day would differ based on facility availability, type of facility and ownership.
In State-owned facilities the costs per day relate to the operationalisation of these sites. Here costs related to provision of food, clinical services, cleaning and waste management costs. On average the costs for somebody in a state-owned facility is R600 per person per day. This excludes laundry, medical waste removal and testing.
For Private-owned facilities the operational costs are included in the rate negotiated with the facilities and excludes all clinical services. The rate is negotiated by the Department of Public Works and Infrastructure (DPWI) for each site. The Provincial Department of Health provides the training, PPE and clinical services for these. These costs are carried by the Department of Health.
(2) The National Department of Health (NDoH) does not tolerate or entertain corruption, and any allegations to this extent need to be reported to the anti-corruption helpline. It also needs to be noted that the NDoH does not get involved in any contractual or payment arrangements to any private facilities related to quarantine or isolation for COVID-19, unless under exceptional circumstances. The DPWI is solely responsible for that.
State-owned facilities are operationalised by the DoH in order to ensure that we operate quarantine facilities as cost effectively as possible and advocate the use of state-owned facilities prior to using private facilities.

Van Staden, Mr PA to ask the Minister of Health
(1)Whether, in light of the fact that the Portfolio Committee on Health and the South African public in general are only being updated on basic statistics of Covid-19 deaths and all hospitals, clinics and laboratories allegedly signed confidentiality clauses to provide test- and death-related information to the Government only, he will furnish Mr P A van Staden with detailed figures of mortality that are not related to Covid-19 since 1 March 2020; if not, why not; (2) whether he will consider providing such figures to the Portfolio Committee on Health on a monthly basis, until the end of the Covid-19 pandemic in the Republic; if not, why not; (3) whether he will make a statement on this matter?
Reply:
(1) Data on all causes of mortality is collected through death certificates from the Department of Home Affairs. These data are made available to the South African Medical Research Council’s Burden of Disease Unit which has published this data on its website – it is therefore in the public domain and anyone interested in this data can access the data freely. The quote below is from the website for the period 1 January to 12 May 2020 and published on 20 May 2020.
“The weekly number of deaths of persons 1+ years of age up till 12 May 2020 are significantly lower than the number that would have been expected based on the historical data, mainly due to the decline in the number of deaths from unnatural causes. The number of deaths from unnatural causes (e.g. road traffic fatalities and homicide) was significantly lower during lockdown than projected on the basis of past trends, but appears to be increasing with the easing of lockdown. • Deaths from natural causes show no unusual sign of increase by 12 May 2020 among people less than 1-59 years nor those 60 years and over, and appear to be tracking consistently below the projected numbers” (Bradshaw et al, 20 May 2020).
(2) The Minister is willing to provide the information obtained from the Department of Home Affairs as noted above, monthly to the Portfolio Committee;
(3) We will make a statement on this matter.

Ismail, Ms H to ask the Minister of Health
Whether, with regard to providing continued support to repatriated citizens at quarantine sites, his department has mechanisms in place to inform persons who are closely involved in repatriating South African citizens about which quarantine sites the repatriated citizens are or will be accommodated; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
The Department of Health is not involved in determining which quarantine facility repatriates would be accommodated at. On receipt of request from the Department of International Relations and Cooperation (Dirco), the Department of Public Works & Infrastructure (DPWI) selects the quarantine facility from the Master List, in accordance with pre-determined criteria. Port Health from the Department of Health is informed and would guide the repatriates in alignment with the instruction of DPWI to the facility indicated. This is as per the current Protocol document between the relevant government departments.

Ismail, Ms H to ask the Minister of Health
Whether his department is taking any steps to monitor how the supermarkets, malls and other entities that are accessed by the public are enforcing the Government’s regulations relating to (a) social distancing, (b) sanitising the hands of members of the public when entering and (c) the wearing of masks before allowing entry to such places; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
Yes, the Department is responding to the above asked questions through its Environmental Health Practitioners who are appointed by district municipaites and metropolitan municipalities to provide Municipal Health Services. These officials are appointed as law enforcers and they are responsible to monitior all the provisions of the disaster management regualtions as far as they relate to compliance with health requirements. Any health requirements that become regulated in the different alert levels become enforceable automatically because these officials are empowered to enforce these regulations.
(a)–(c) Environmental Health Practitioners monitor compliance on social distancing, sanitasing of hands and wearing of masks at all premises including supermarkets, malls and other public places during their routine inspections on all opened premises based on the alert level. Monitoring is also done at pension pay points, spaza shops and relief application centres. Management of the premises is held accountable for ensuring observation of these control measures as provided for in the Regulations 5(3) and 5(4). The support of owners of such entities to comply is largely positive.

Van Staden, Mr PA to ask the Minister of Health
Whether the guidelines for quarantine and isolation facilities in relation to Covid-19 exposure and infection in the Republic were only published on 5 May 2020; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, (a) why was the specified document not published sooner and (b) what guidelines did quarantine and isolation facilities follow before the publication of this document on 5 May 2020?
Reply:
It is confirmed that the GUIDELINES FOR QUARANTINE AND ISOLATION IN RELATION TO COVID-19 EXPOSURE AND INFECTION was only approved on the 5th of May 2020.
(a) The guideline was developed by various stakeholders including the National Department of Health, North West University, Nelson Mandela University, Infection Control Africa Network from Stellenbosch University, Western Cape DoH, UCT and Bournemouth University of the UK. The process already started at the beginning of March. This was also informed by the minimum requirements as defined by the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention and the WHO.
These were widely circulated to ensure that it is comprehensive and takes into account the various roles and responsibilities of stakeholders involved. This obviously took some time to finalise and get all feedback incorporated.
(b) A guideline produced by the NICD (National Institute for Communicable Diseases) relevant to quarantine was used prior to the guideline approval.

Wilson, Ms ER to ask the Minister of Health
(1)What total amount does the Government pay in annual membership fees to the World Health Organisation (WHO); (2) (a) which countries have been denied membership to the WHO and (b) what are the reasons?
Reply:
1. The WHO Programme Budget is financed through a mix of assessed and voluntary contributions. Assessed contributions are the dues countries pay in order to be a member of WHO. The amount each Member State must pay is calculated relative to the country's wealth and population. However, assessed contributions remain a key source of financing for the Organization. The WHO assessed contributions are due and payable annually as of 1 January from all WHO Member States and Associate Members (currently 194 Member States and 2 Associate Members). Member's contributions are assessed in two currencies - half in United States dollar and half-in Swiss francs.
For 2020, South Africa’s assessed contribution is US$ 650,715 and Swiss Francs (CHf) 664,380 estimated at approximately R12 038 228 and R12 636 508 respectively and totalling of R24 674 736

Madlingozi, Mr BS to ask the Minister of Health
Whether, taking into account the extreme levels of pressure that medical practitioners are working under and will continue to work under as the Covid-19 crisis evolves, he has considered increasing the remuneration of medical practitioners; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
The remuneration of medical practitioners in the Public Health Sector, together with all health professionals including Nurses and other frontline staff, is determined in accordance with the agreements that both organised labour and the State as the employer negotiate and sign at the Public Service Coordination Bargaining Council (PSCBC) and Public Health and Social Development Sectoral Bargaining Council (PHSDSBC). The PSCBC agreements determine those matters that are regulated by uniform rules, norms and standards that apply across the public service such as salaries, leaves and benefits. The PHSDSBC agreements determine those matters that are health sector specific and that do not apply in other sectors.
The PHSDSBC signed Occupational Specific Dispensation (OSD) Resolutions: viz 2 of 2007; 3 of 2009 and 1 of 2010 etc, whereby individual skills and experiences are recognised and acknowledged to place the said health professionals in the relevant bracket of remuneration.
Apart from remuneration, the performance of Health Professionals is incentivised in accordance with the PMDS system in terms of which they may receive an incentive bonus, and an annual increase.
Based on the above deliberation, it needs to be noted that any salary increases is a subject of negotiations at the Bargaining Council, by parties. Currently, there is a process of consultation between the Department of Health and organised labour on a “token of appreciation” for all essential and frontline employees who are working and will continue to work during the Covid-19 crisis. This process will be concluded in due course.

Ismail, Ms H to ask the Minister of Health
Whether his department will consider to extend the service of health care professionals, who are due to retire on pension at the end of the month, until after the pandemic has subsided; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
The current legislative framework (Sub section 16.7 of the Public Service Act of 1994, as amended) provides for the Executive Authority with the discretion to retain an employee beyond the retirement age subject to the employee's consent for the maximum period of two years.
It therefore means each employee case legible for retirement will be dealt with on its merits.

(1)Whether he has disregarded the role traditional healers could play to render assistance during the Covid-19 crisis, since a great majority of South Africans consult traditional healers on a regular basis for their health problems; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, (2) whether he has engaged any of the traditional healers in the Republic for this purpose; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
1. Yes. The Department of Health identified the role that Traditional Health Practitioners could play to render assistance during the Covid-19 pandemic. Realising the need to have the Traditional Health Practitioners incorporated into the interventions with regards to the Covoid-19 response, the Department developed and approved the guidelines for Traditional Health Practitioners in dealing with the practice of the Traditional Health Practitioners during Covid-19 lockdown. The guidelines were developed in consultation with key representatives of the traditional health practitioners as well the Ministerial Advisory Committee. These guidelines allow Traditional Health Practitioners to continue with the provision of their essential services to the majority of South Africans within this period of Covid-19 and lockdown.
2. Yes. Traditional Health Practitioners were engaged during the development of the guidelines and engagement process is ongoing with regards to related matters. It is through the successful engagement that a product in the form of the guidelines was issued by the Department.

Mohlala, Ms MR to ask the Minister of Health
What measures has he put in place to track all persons who were tested positive for COVID-19, but who cannot be located or traced in each province?
Reply:
The scenario of unallocated COVID-19 positive patients was present at the beginning of the epidemic in the country and this was due to the submission of incomplete data by the Laboratories and the information systems processes the data.
The Department has implemented measures to improve the situation and the non-allocation of positive COVID-19 persons is the exception to the rule currently.
Measures include,
- The strengthening of the information systems for Notifiable Medical Conditions at the National Institute for Communicable Diseases (NICD) has resulted in the quality of reporting.
- The interactions with the Laboratories has improved the quality and completeness of the data submitted by the laboratories to the NICD.
- The COVID-19 tracing teams at a district level have been expanded. There are 8446 tracers that follow up with COVID-19 cases, and their contacts.
