Van Dyk, Ms V to ask the Minister of Communications
(1) Whether the Freelance Contract for Performers announced by the SA Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) on 27 August 1997 between the SABC and actors is the final, legal and binding contract; if not, what legislation was put in its place; (2) Whether production companies are altering contracts at will; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what steps is the SABC taking to ensure that the correct contract is used at all times; (3) Whether the contract may be amended without prior written approval by the SABC; if so, what are the relevant details; (4) Why do actors allegedly not receive remuneration in line with the 15% received by producers and 10% received by writers in the commercial exploitation of programmes when sold to other television stations; (5) Whether the SABC has agreed to negotiate the fee in giving effect to clause 7.2 of the actors’ contract; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, why does the SABC not agree with the proposal of the SA Guild of Actors to at least set the actors’ portion at 15 %?
Reply:
I have been advised by SABC as follows:
- Yes, the Freelance Contract for Performers of 27 August 1997 between the SABC and actors is indeed the final, legal and binding contract.
- No, production companies are not altering contracts at will, however, should any alterations be required those will be effected after agreement between the SABC and affected company.
- No alternations may be made without the SABC’s consent. The SABC issues the performers’ agreement and advises specifically that clauses 5 and 7 cannot be altered without prior approval of the SABC. [Clause 5 and 7 are attached]
- The payment of actors is prescribed in clause 7 of the Agreement in question. The SABC is merely adhering to the percentages set out in the agreement.
- There is no new agreement in place and the SABC is complying with the stipulated payment of 2%. The SABC can enter into new negotiations but it would have to be with all representatives in the Industry and not only with SAGA.

Mbhele, Mr ZN to ask the Minister of Communications
What was the rationale for the implementation of the State Information Technology Agency Transversal Contract 2007/2015 for the provision of printer consumables, (b) what promotional marketing efforts were undertaken to invite prospective service providers to apply for the contract’s preferred supplier list, (c) why was sufficient opportunity not given to prospective service providers to tender for the contract, (d) why is the contract being implemented so late in its scheduled term and (e)(i) which companies are on the preferred suppliers list for the contract, (ii) in which province do they operate and (iii) what criteria were applied to select them?
Reply:
I have been advised by the SITA as follows:
(a) The rationale was to afford new service providers an opportunity to respond to the bid, new brands to be added and afford an opportunity to existing service providers to add additional provinces to their offerings.
Secondly, to get Government volume discount from Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and to support the transformation in the ICT sector by developing existing and new suppliers/partners through training, certification, accreditation and SMME incubation. This includes skills transfer to partners/resellers to build skills base in the ICT sector.
(b) RFB 2007/2015 was published through an open market on 04 December 2015. The bid was published in the following platforms:
- Government Tender Bulletin
- National Treasury portal
- SITA Website
In terms of the Treasury Regulations, bids are published in Government Tender Bulletin and in any other media. So SITA website was used as an additional media for advertisement.
(c) The bid was published on 04 December 2015 and closed on 29 January 2016 and the advertisement was prior to the annual closure period. The Vendor Briefing Session was held on 10 December 2015. The minimum period for advertisement of bids is 21 days and the bid was published for more than 21 days.
(d) SCM received a tasking from the Department of Public Service and Administration (DPSA) on the 13 November 2014. SITA embarked on extensive stakeholder consultations to ensure the strategic approach of economic transformation was all encompassing, which resulted in a delay in publishing the bid. The specification was developed by SITA and approved by DPSA. An open tender process was used for sourcing the required solution. A competitive bidding process allowed bidders in the market to participate and compete fairly.
(e) (i) and (ii) A detailed list of accredited suppliers per province and brand is attached as Annexure A
(iii) SITA evaluated RFB 2007/2015 as follows:
- Screening of mandatory documents
- Technical Evaluation
- Mandatory Requirements
- Price Evaluation/Mark up %

14 October 2019 - NW912
Weber, Ms AMM to ask the Minister of Health
(1) What are the names of all the approved clinics and/or institutions in the Republic where abortions are legally allowed to take place; (2) Whether his department has a database of the names of trained and certified practitioners and midwifes who meet the approved standards to perform legal abortions in the Republic; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details; (3) What steps is he taking to remove all illegal practicing doctors and services that advertise safe and pain-free abortions and that are also selling illegal pills on the street or on the internet with delivery to homes for free?
Reply:
(1) The names of all the approved clinics/institutions where abortions are legally allowed are attached in Appendix A.
(2) In terms of training the National Department of Health conduct a ten (10) days theoretical training for nurses followed by ten (10) clinical cases practical sessions before they are certified as competent.
Provincial offices contract the General Practitioners (GPs) and private organizations like Marie Stopes to provide Termination of Pregnancy (ToP) services. The National contracting stopped when the CToP Act was amended in 2008.
The focus for training is currently mainly on medical termination.
(3) Efforts to reduce illegal ToP providers. KZN provincial officie, with the previous MEC, embarked on the process of removing the advertisements of illegal abortions on street poles and some of the findings were:
- Adverts are put up by young people who do not even understand what abortion means, mainly boys;
- They were confronted and they could not provide details of the people who gave them the adverts, they just received the money given and started putting up the adverts.
- Most numbers provided, will lead you to different places, sometimes they send you to hotel reception or individuals on the street.
Mobile units are not providing abortions because they do not have backup of MVA equipment in case there is a need for surgical evacuation following the medical abortion.
Provincial Departments have an assessment tool to assess the readiness of facilities both private and public sector to perform abortions.

George, Dr DT to ask the Minister of Finance
Whether an estimation of the size of the illicit economy has been conducted; if not, why not; if so, (a) what is the estimated size of the illicit economy and (b) what steps are being taken to tax the illicit economy effectively?
Reply:
The elicit economy is a continuously changing landscape and a function of the overall levels of societal and tax compliance.
SARS is in the process of conducting scientific and evidence-based research to quantify the size of the illicit economy for South Africa and as such there is no official position yet on the size of the illicit economy. The study also seeks to identify, quantify illicit/illegal activities taking place in both the formal and informal economy. The study will further involve identifying, locating, understanding, registering, managing and monitoring illicit businesses in their different forms and sizes in the illicit economy.
The illicit economy ranges from the underground economy, which operates outside of the rules and regulations of the country, to organised crime. It involves money, goods or value gained from illegal and generally unethical activity. The activities and/or transactions that occur in the underground economy are illegal for various reasons. Transactions in the underground economy are illegal either because the good or service being traded is illegal or because an otherwise licit transaction does not comply with government reporting requirements. People who work in the underground economy do not declare their incomes. In other words, the tax authorities have no official records of their activities or transactions. These activities generate a wide range of economic, social, environmental or political harms and contribute to the tax gap.
(a) The outcome of the comprehensive research will assist in determining the size of each illegal trading item. In the absence of SARS own research findings, It is difficult
to put a value to the illicit economy. The research studies, which commenced in November 2018, are expected to be completed by March 2020.
(b) In line with the overall SARS strategy of discouraging non-compliance (and incentivizing good behavior) through education and/or enforcement action as executed by its Enforcement divisions, and in recognition of the need for alternative enforcement responses to non-compliance within the illicit economy, SARS established an interim capability to conduct investigations into the illicit economy. The capability executes integrated enforcement investigations and comprises of multi-disciplinary and collaborative investigations and enforcement debt recovery actions, supported by legal experts and data analytics. The tax and customs legislation administered by the Commissioner for SARS (for example, the Tax Administration Act, 2011) governs the conduct of all units within SARS.

Kopane, Ms SP to ask the Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure:
Whether (a) her department, (b) any entity reporting to her and/or (c) any provincial department of public works owes any unpaid rates and services to any municipality; if so, in each case, (i) what amount is owed, (ii) to which municipality is each amount owed and (iii) by what date will the outstanding amount be settled? NW1978E
Reply:
The Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure:
(A) Yes, Municipalities are owed money by the Department of Public Works and Infrastructure (DPWI) for two reasons:
- Municipal accounts must be verified and validated prior to processing payments in order to avoid irregular and fruitless and wasteful expenditure.
- DPWI pays these accounts on behalf of other user departments.
- Many government departments not refunding DPWI and this creates cash flow problems for DPWI.
- Many municipalities submit inflated accounts.
In August 2019 the Department of Public Works and Infrastructure (DPWI) started with a project to settle all the Government debt owed by DPWI to municipalities.
The Department’s Chief Financial Officer is spearheading the project and his office developed a project plan to:
- Reconcile outstanding government debt for municipal service billed;
- Agree with municipalities for settlement or recovery of the outstanding amount and obtain sign-off;
- Verification of accounts;
- Provide clear recommendations to avoid repetition of issues.
Each of DPWI’s ten regional offices provides a weekly update to the CFO and the Minister on progress.
As of 30 June 2019, Municipalities reported in terms Section 71 (S. 71) of the Municipal Finance Management Act (MFMA) that the overall government debt was R3.1 Billion. There are 135 municipalities of the 256 municipalities that reported to be owed by DPWI. The Department is in the process of verifying the debt owed for all 256 municipalities.
The said amounts above, have, however, proven to be unreliable and incorrect as is displayed in Section.71 MFMA information. Below are just the three (3) examples:
• Bushbuckridge Local Municipality disclosed an outstanding debt of R925.5 million as per S.71, however, our regional office after verification has agreed that the outstanding debt is R6.9 million as per our joint reconciliation work performed;
• Emfuleni Local Municipality disclosed an outstanding debt of R185.9 million as per S.71, however, they were unable to provide any supporting documentation to support this rand value on enquiry from the regional office;
• Makhuduthamaga Local Municipality disclosed an outstanding debt of R362.2 million as per S.71, however, our regional office after verification agreed that the outstanding debt is R1.3 million as per our joint reconciliation work performed.
It is therefore essential that amounts disclosed by municipalities require verification and validation prior to processing payments in order to avoid irregular and fruitless and wasteful expenditure.
As at 4 October 2019, DPWI has obtained sign-offs from 21 Municipalities and will send letters to municipalities to raise awareness and ensure cooperation and commitment in relation to all records and reconciliation for verification of Government debt.
The DPWI is resolute in its commitment to settle all verified debts within 30 days of receipt of the statements invoices and sign-offs.
The DPWI has already engaged with 62 municipalities and is in the process to verify and settle outstanding debt. After that the DPWI will engage with the remaining 192 municipalities. Details of the engagement with the 62 municipalities are as follows:

Mileham, Mr K to ask the Minister of Finance
Whether the (a) import and/or (b) production of electric vehicles attract any additional (i) taxes or (ii) tariffs beyond the normal company tax and/or import duties levied by the Government; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what is the (aa) purpose of such taxes and/or tariffs and (bb) total amount of taxes and/or tariffs levied in each case?
Reply:
The payment of import or excise duties is based on national policy
determined by the Department of Trade and Industry (the dti), as well as on
international trade instruments to which South Africa is a signatory. Robust
methodologies are followed to ensure that all commodities are classified
correctly, and that the South African Revenue Service collects the correct
amount of revenue due to the state. Accordingly, the payment of import or
excise duties is based on a tariff rate applicable to a specific commodity as
determined by the dti.
(a)(b)(i)(ii) In the case of the import and/or production of electric vehicles, Ordinary
Customs Duties on importation and Ad Valorem Excise duties, payment of
duties based on the customs value of the imported goods, levied by
government are applicable. There are no other additional taxes payable on
electric vehicles. All Vehicles are classified in Chapter 87 of Schedule 1 of
the Customs and Excise Act 91 of 1964. The rates of duty on electric
vehicles range
between 0% and 25%.
It is worth noting that there is no differentiation between the treatment of the conventional fuel combustion and electric vehicles with regards to applicable Customs procedures, the rates and tax-types levied during importation or manufacturing locally, for as long as the vehicles belong to the same categories (that is, whether it’s a bus, truck, ordinary passenger vehicle, etc.).
However, because SARS administer Ad Valorem Excise duties, which considers both weight and value, the mass of the vehicle will invariably impact on the rate of the duty applicable. Thus, smaller cars may attract smaller rates of duty, although the value may be a differentiating factor if such a smaller vehicle is much more expensive. For an example, an electric passenger vehicle and fuel combustion engine passenger vehicle will attract the same rate of duty or excise if the two are of the same mass and value.

De Villiers, Mr MJ to ask the Minister of Social Development
What (a) number of official international trips is (i) she and (ii) her deputy planning to undertake in the 2019-22 medium term expenditure framework, (b) will the (i) destination, (ii) date, (iii) purpose and (iv) number of persons who will travel with the delegation be and (c) is the detailed breakdown of the expected cost of (i) flights, (ii) accommodation and (iii) any other expenses in each case?
Reply:
The Minister and Deputy Minister of Social Development attend a number of international meetings carrying out various obligations representing South Africa and the carrying pout the mandate of the department. These could be bilateral or multilateral in nature, i.e. at the Southern African Development Community (SADC) regional level; African Union/ continental level, at a BRICS or even United Nations Level amongst others.
These meetings do not all have pre-determined dates and the Ministry responds to these based on their strategic nature towards the fulfilment of the DSD mandate and carrying out the national agenda.
The purpose of each of these meeting s also differ with the associated themes but are aligned with the mandate of the Department. The Ministry adheres to stick financial behaviour in line with the National Treasury regulations and prescripts when determining the delegations to such meetings and is thus prudent on all related costs thereto.

Chirwa-Mpungose, Ms NN to ask the Minister of Health
In light of the report by the Council for Medical Schemes that mental health diseases are increasing, under-diagnosed and under-treated and that the approved budget for 2019-20 financial year only accommodates 5 000 patients on the new mental health programme to be rolled out in the current financial year, how does he plan to address (a) access, (b) awareness and (c) the shortage of mental healthcare facilities under the new programme?
Reply:
(a)-(b) The National Department of Health has in place the National Mental Health Policy Framework and Strategic Plan 2013-2020 which is currently being implemented in all nine provinces. Progress reports obtained from provinces in 2017/18 and 2019/20 financial years show that implementation of the plan has gained traction but a lot more still needs to be done.
In addition to the implementation of the National Mental Health Policy Framework and Plan, the following have been undertaken:
- A call for expression of interest to render mental health services was made to psychologists, psychiatrists and registered counsellors. Practitioners per province have been identified for provinces to contract using the Human Resources Capacitation Fund.
- In order to improve the quality and access to mental health services a Mental Health Training Programme was developed. The programme targets health practitioners working at primary health care clinics as well as district hospitals to improve their competencies in detection of mental disorders and provision of good quality mental health care, treatment and rehabilitation. A total of 30 training workshops were conducted during this financial year reaching 920 health practitioners in 8 Provinces. This programme will be expanded in the coming financial years to train more health practitioners.
- The National Department of Health evaluated the health systems cost of mental health services and programmes in South Africa in 2018/19. This was aimed at helping us understand what we are currently spending on mental health across all service levels and the potential resource envelop to be augmented to address the key mental health service gaps. The study found that the total costs of inpatient and outpatient mental health services and known transfers for contracted hospitals and NGO mental health sevices across all nine provinces amounted to R8.37 billion in the 2016/17 financial year. This represented 5% of the total health budget in the2016/17 (provincial range: 2.1-7.7%), and equated to a national average of R180.9 per capita uninsured.
We have embarked on the second phase of the project, to determine a prioritized package of mental health services and the resource estimates that should be made available to address the gaps and implement the prioritized interventions. The “investment case for mental health” will be finalized during the course of next year.
(c) Mental health infrastructure additions, upgrades and renovations are funded through the Indirect Conditional Grant: Health Infrastructure Revitalization Grant. In the 2019/20 financial year 21 mental health infrastructure projects are funded and they are at different stages of implementation.
END.

Masango, Ms B to ask the Minister of Social Development
(1) Whether she intends to request that Parliament revives the Children’s Amendment Bill 2019 as gazetted on 25 February 2019; (2) Whether she has found that specific provisions of the proposed Bill will alleviate and/or remedy the foster care crisis identified in the order of the High Court that is to be effected by November 2019; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details; (3) Why is her department overhauling the entire Children’s Act, Act 38 of 2005, instead of just effecting the changes to remedy the foster care crisis as required by the High Court?
Reply:
(1) Yes, the Minister intends to request that Parliament revives the Children’s Amendment Bill 2019 as gazetted on 25 February 2019.
(2) The Minister strongly believes that provisions of the proposed Bill as outlined below will alleviate and/ or remedy the foster care crisis identified in the order of the High Court that is to be effected by November 2019. The Bill seeks to amend the Children’s Act No. 38 of 2005 by addressing weaknesses in the broader child care and protection system and the foster care system in particular. It also provides a basis for a comprehensive legal solution as ordered by the Gauteng Division of the High Court in Pretoria in November 2017, in the matter of The Centre for Child Law vs Minister of Social Development to deal with challenges relating to the provision and administration of foster care matters.
The clauses inserted in the Bill are informed by an analysis of the problem impacting on foster care that relate to human resources, financial resources and legislative provisions that provide a mechanism to manage the validity of foster care orders. The clauses will put the mechanisms and strengthen the critical points of the child care and protection system, diversifying the options to respond to various needs that children may present with.
These clauses will also benefit the foster care programme by providing various options to be accessed by children minimising the likelihood of some children being placed in foster care unnecessarily, ensuring that the constitutional right to inclusiveness is adhered to by the Bill. Furthermore, they ensure that mechanisms are put in place for strengthening the child protection system that will have a positive effect to the improvement of quality foster care services and putting mechanisms for the management of the duration of foster care orders in a sustainable manner.
Clause 25 seeks to amend section 45 of the Act by devolving guardianship matters for orphaned or abandoned children to children’s court. This clause strengthens accessibility for guardianship by extending the jurisdiction of guardianship matters to be dealt with by both the children’s court and the High Court. This will reduce the burden in the foster care case load as more children will be under the care of guardians.
Clause 57 amends section 105 to strengthen the quality assurance mechanism to improve the quality of child care and protection services. This clause will enhance the monitoring and quality assurance for the management of alternative care orders. By strengthening the quality assurance process, it is envisaged that foster care backlogs will be reduced and properly managed. Furthermore, this will ensure compliance with legislative provisions and also improve the quality of child care and protection services.
Clause 81 amends section 142 to enable the Minister to prescribe a system for quality child care and protection services. It empowers the Minister to put the mechanisms in place for strengthening and ensure the provision of quality child care and protection services including alternative care services.
Clause 89 amends section 156 to empower children’s courts to issue an order to place a child in the care of a parent or family member, if the court finds that that person is a suitable person to provide for the safety and well-being of the child. The administrative procedure for such placement will be outlined in regulations.
Clause 91 amends section 159 to provide a mechanism for the management of the validity of alternative care orders, which include foster care orders. This clause seeks to provide recourse for alternative care orders that lapse due to administrative shortfalls by empowering the courts to issue interim extension of alternative care orders that lapsed. This will ensure that children who were found to be in need of care and protection remain in alternative care while awaiting the full extension of the court order. Regulations will be drafted to outline the process and to ensure the accountability for the management of lapsing orders.
Clause 99 seeks to amend section 186 to make provision for monitoring long-term foster care placements. This clause empowers the children’s court to extend a foster care order for a period of more than two years with the purpose of creating stability in the child’s life. Furthermore, it empowers the court to issue an order for provision of supervision services if the court deems it necessary. This will address the challenges experienced where the courts were very reluctant to grant an order for more than two years without supervision. The clause therefore, empower the courts to monitor the court order issued for long-term foster care placements. Full utilisation of this section will reduce the burden in the system and address the challenges of lapsing orders.
(3) The Children’s Amendment Bill, 2019 seeks to address critical gaps and challenges in the underlying child care and protection system. Furthermore, it identifies several strategies to address these challenges efficiently and effectively. The Department took a broad and holistic approach towards the amendment of the Act and thus seeks through this Amendment Bill, to resolve other areas of defect in the Act.
The department started with the review process of the Act during 2011 and 2012 and subsequently drafted the comprehensive Children’s Amendment Bill in 2013. Policy matters that had legislative implications were halted whilst the Foster Care Ministerial Committee was undertaking an investigation, and the ECD, as well as the Child Care and Protection Policies were being drafted.
However, there were specific sections of the Act which were amended and the Minister Introduced the short-version Children’s Amendment Bill in Parliament. The Bill addressed court orders and urgent amendments that did not have policy or financial implications. The Bill was split and the process culminated in the Children’s Amendment Act, 2016 (Children’s Amendment Act No. 17 of 2016) and the Children’s Second Amendment Act, 2016 (Children’s Second Amendment Act No. 18 of 2016) which were promulgated on 26 January 2018.
The department has been in possession of the comprehensive Children’s Amendment Bill since 2013. Once the Foster Care Ministerial Committee finalised their investigation and the ECD as well as National Child Care and Protection Policy were finalised, the Minister deemed it necessary to proceed with the processing of the draft comprehensive Children’s Amendment Bill. The department cannot afford a piecemeal approach to amending the Children’s Act as there are other urgent amendments required to strengthen the child protection system.

Van Staden, Mr PA to ask the Minister of Health
(1)What has he found to be the reasons that the Republic has a shortage of doctors and nurses in State hospitals; (2) What are the main reasons why new doctors and nurses are trained in Cuba whereas the Republic has universities that can provide training for doctors and nurses; (3) Whether he will make a statement on the matter?
Reply:
- The primary reasons why the Republic has a shortage of doctors and nurses is the fact that the Public Health Sector budget has not been increasing in real terms for the past ten years, impacting on the number of staff that can be appointed. Furthermore, the demand for health services in the country is increasing while there is no additional funding to address the change, which results primarily from immigration into the Country and the increasing burden of disease.
The shortage of health professionals is a global phenomenon and is more pronounced in low and middle income countries as health workers are more likely to migrate to upper middle income countries in search of better living and working conditions.
(2) I am not aware of any nurses being in trained in Cuba under the auspices of the Nelson Mandela/Fidel Castro Medical Collaboration except for the training of medical doctors. The aim of training doctors in Cuba are multifold:
(a) It is to expose medical doctors to a preventative approach to health care which is the cornerstone of the Public Health System in Cuba Health Care provision initiatives focus on community needs assessments and health indicators. The health care system is divided into three levels, namely primary, secondary and tertiary, but implemented differently from the South African setting.
(i) The primary care level focuses on providing health promotion and protection, along with the resolution of the minor health issues that account for an estimated 80% of total health concerns of Cuba. Clinics, Community Health Centres and patients’ homes are key sites that provide primary level care;
(ii) Secondary care level is focusing on 15% of health problems that result in patient hospitalisation; and
(iii) Tertiary care focuses on the remaining 5% of health problems, particularly where illness has resulted in severe complications. Such illnesses are handled in specialised hospitals and institutes throughout the country.
(b) The Cuban Public Health System is thus a model that we want to learn from, and apply in our health care system as we reorient the Health System towards Primary Health Care, to prevent diseases, promote health and reduce the number of patients that are admitted to hospitals. Our Medical Schools still focus on a curative and hospicentric health care system, with limited focus on Primary Health Care, which is also evident in their Curriculum;
(c) By training medical students in Cuba, we also want to produce a new cadre of a medical doctor who understands prevention, and how to tailor health services to specific community needs;
(d) Another reason for training medical students in Cuba is to give an opportunity to students who would not have been admitted to the South African medical schools because of their socio-economic conditions, in particular those from poor rural communities.
(3) Yes I will make a statement on this matter.

Singh, Mr N to ask the Minister of Health
Whether, in light of the exorbitantly high cost of cancer medication in the Republic and in comparison to other countries such as India, he will consider removing the patent laws on cancer medication and treatment in order for low-cost generics to be produced to enable the majority of South Africans to have access to affordable treatment; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
A patent allows the pharmaceutical manufacturer an exclusivity over the sale of a medicine. During this time the manufacturer price is very high and unaffordable to low and middle income countries. Companies argue that the high prices are intended to recoup their costs of research and development, however these companies have been reluctant to be transparent about such costs. There is much evidence to suggest that the cost of research and development is actually much lower than claims made by the pharmaceutical industry.
South Africa has been at the forefront of challenging the high prices of medicines globally including where patents are the barrier to access. There currently are legislative provisions which would allow us to access a medicine that is protected by a patent. These provisions are included in Section 15C of the Medicines and Related Substances Control Act, 1965 (Act No. 101 of 1965). It is important to bear in mind that in order for one to access medicines using Section 15C, such a medicine must first be registered by the South African Health Products Regulatory Authority (SAHPRA) in terms of efficacy, safety and quality. SAHPRA will consider an application of a generic even while a patent remains in effect. So the provisions to address patent barriers already exist in South Africa however a product must be registered by SAHPRA before we can implement such a provision.
South Africa has never had to use the patent legislation to access a lower priced generic medicine. The patent holders have in many cases negotiated either through bilateral agreements or have participated in the Medicines Patent Pool which provides manufacturers in developing countries like South Africa access lower cost generic antiretroviral (ARV) drugs at an affordable price. This has allowed us to afford the world’s largest ARV programme.

Gwarube, Ms S to ask the Minister of Health
What amount has been spent on each pilot project of the National Health Insurance since the inception of the programme?
Reply:
The health system strengthening initiatives were implement in the NHI pilot districts. There initiatives were funded through conditional grants. The grant funding related to the following activities:
The ward based primary healthcare outreach teams which were responsible for the provision of primary healthcare to families/households; community outreach services; preventative, promotive, curative, rehabilitative and palliative services.
The Integrated school health programme focused on screening of health-related barriers to learning such as vision, hearing, cognitive, and related developmental impairments.
General Practitioners and Pharmacy Assistants were contracted to primary care facilities to support clinics in service delivery.
The ideal clinic realisation model was introduced in response to the existing insufficiencies in quality of PHC services and to lay the foundation for NHI implementation.
The centralized chronic medicines dispensing and distribution model involves the centralized dispensing of medicines for chronic stable patients and the collection of the medicine at a point close to patients,
The purpose of the health patient registration system is to serve as an online registry of all patients using healthcare services in South Africa that can be accessed at any facility to provide health workers with patients’ demographic information and their most up-to-date health records.
The stock visibility system is used in PHC clinics to monitor and report on stock availability levels for essential medicines like ARVs, TB medication and vaccines. The purpose of the SVS is to enable more informed decision-making and proactive stock management at the PHC facility level.
The infrastructure grant was intended to fund nursing college infrastructure as well as the maintenance, repair and construction of primary care facilities
The expenditure below outlines the grants allocated to the National Health Insurance as reported in Departmental annual reports over the period

Wilson, Ms ER to ask the Minister of Health
(1) What number of forensic pathologists are currently appointed (a) at each mortuary and (b) in each province; (2) What (a) progress has been made to ensure that forensic pathology officers are registered with a professional body and (b) number of forensic pathology officers are currently registered with the Health Professions Council of South Africa?
Reply:
- For 1 (a) and (b) for Western Cape (updated 14 September 2019), please refer to Table 1 below:
The Western Cape does not appoint their Forensic Pathologists to the mortuaries, as they (outside of the Metro) are a resource that provides services across a geographic area. In the Metro they are linked to the two Departments of Forensic Medicine (University of Stellenbosch & University of Cape Town) and they also have academic responsibilities. Registrars are excluded, as they are not qualified pathologists. This also supports the deployment of pathologists beyond their specific area when they have service pressures elsewhere or during major incident response. In the rural areas either the doctors travel or the case travels to the doctor.
Please refer to the table overleaf.

Of the total requested roll-over of R2.1 billion, only R923.5 million was approved to be rolled over into the 2015/16 financial year, while R1.1 billion was unapproved.
A total of R1.4 billion in unspent conditional grants was returned to the National Revenue Fund (R1.5 billion in 2015/16), this was made up of unapproved roll-overs and unspent amounts that were never requested to be rolled over into the next financial year, but were unspent at the end of the financial year.
The reasons for under expenditure vary, as seen from the roll-over requests submissions by municipalities, ranging from capacity constraints, poor planning, slow or late procurement, leadership issues, among others. There is of late disruptions to procurement and project implementation processes by local business forums demanding that 30 per cent of each project cost be procured from local entrepreneurs or SMME’s, which is not always possible due to most not meeting the qualifying criteria required to deliver on the projects needed to be implemented.
The detailed information on allocations, roll-overs and unspent amounts per grant are in the following annexures:
Annexure C - (b)(i) expenditure and underspending
Annexure A – (aa) transfers
Annexure C – (bb) offset/surrendered to NRF

In 2017/18 municipalities were allocated R32.4 billion in various conditional grants and R32 billion was transferred to municipalities. Municipalities underspent on the transferred amount and as a result a total amount of R3.2 billion in different grants was requested by municipalities to be rolled over into the next financial year, over R200 million and R700 million more than in 2014/15 and 2016/17 respectively. From the requested roll-over of R3.2 billion, a mere R904 million was approved to be rolled over into the 2015/16 financial year, however R2.3 billion was unapproved to be carried over into 2018/19.
A total amount of R3.6 billion in unspent conditional grants was returned to the National Revenue Fund, this was made up of unapproved roll-overs and unspent amounts that were never requested to be rolled over into the next financial year, but were unspent at the end of the financial year. The reasons for under expenditure vary, as seen from the roll-over requests submissions by municipalities, ranging from capacity constraints, poor planning, slow or late procurement, leadership issues, among others.
