Mathys, Ms L to ask the Minister of Health
(a) Why are mothers of newborn babies allegedly sleeping on bloodstained mattresses on the floor in overcrowded wards at Bophelong Hospital in the North West and (b) what steps will he take in this regard?
Reply:
a) Since the closure of the theatre in Lehurutshe Hospital due to upgrading, all caesarean sections are referred to the hospital previously known to be Bophelong Hospital (currently known as Mafikeng Provincial Hospital). The Hospital has since experienced patient overflow. The Hospital was initially called Bophelong Hospital as it was in the same grounds with a mental health hospital named as such, which was now moved to a new location. The remaining facility is now renamed Mahikeng.
Further, due to insufficient supply of linen savers as a result of insufficient budget, some mattresses were blood-stained during deliveries, however the institution has motivated for increase of supply to the section as the demand dictates.
b) The following measures have been put in place:
(i) Exension of the maternity ward into the obstetrics theatre to increase space to accommodate more patients;
(ii) Allocation of additional beds to replace floor beds;
(iii) Close monitoring of the project in Lehurutshe Hospital to accelerate completion of theatre.

Whether he has been informed that incubators are broken in maternity Ward G at Tygerberg Hospital; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, (a) why have the incubators not been fixed and (b) by what date will the incubators be fixed?
Reply:
a) It has not been procedure to inform the Minister of broken equipment in the facilities, however the incubators referred to were likely to have been incubators that were already due to be taken to the Tygerberg Hospital Clinical Engineering Department (CED) for assessment for damages and possible repairs or condemning. Necessary repairs if any, are effected, coordinated by the CED Department;
b) Recently in January 2018, a total of 30 brand-new incubators were purchased.

Dreyer, Ms AM to ask the Minister of Health
(1)(a) At what specific time was a certain person (name furnished) admitted to the Tambo Memorial Hospital and (b) why did nurses allegedly refuse to attend to the specified person on the morning of 30 January 2018; (2) (a) why were there no beds available in labour ward B that the person was admitted to, (b) why was no other bed found for the person in the hospital and (c) what is the protocol with regard to admitting patients to a ward where there are no beds available; (3) (a) at what specific time did a doctor examine the person, (b) for what number of hours did the person allegedly had to lie in her own fluids and (c) how often was the person attended to according to hospital records?
Reply:
1. (a) The patient arrived in the Accident and Emergency Department at 08h05. She was attended by the nursing staff and the Medical Officer from Accident and Emergency Department. After the initial assessment she was referred to the Obstetrics and Gynaecology Department. A Senior Medical Officer from Obstetrics and Gynaecology Department assessed her on arrival to the ward at 10h05.
(b) Initially the patient presented herself to the Labour Ward. She was directed to the Accident and Emergency Department by the nursing staff as all patients with her condition are admitted to the Gynaecology ward via Accident and Emergency Department.
2. (a) and (b) The Gynaecology ward was full to its capacity at the time, therefore the patient was transferred to the Labour ward’s extension area. She was nursed in a room by herself to allow privacy.
(c) All patients are accommodated in a bed in the ward.
3. (a) The patient was first assessed by the Medical Officer in Accident and Emergency Department at 08h05. She was transferred to the Labour ward and was immediately examined by the Senior Medical Officer from Obstetrics and Gynaecology Department at 10h05.
(b) Answering this question will lead to disclosure of the diagnosis of this patient and I cannot do that.
(c) The patient stayed in the Labour ward from 10h00 to 23h00, where she delivered. During this time she was examined by the Medical Officer three (3) times. In between she was attended by the midwives. A consultation was also done by the consultant on call for that night. The doctor had numerous discussions/feedback sessions with the patient’s husband and the mother-in-law during the patient’s stay in the ward.

(1)What (a)(i) are the details of the methodology used by his department to assess the 3 400 public healthcare facilities to determine their functionality, (ii) is the total number of assessors who were involved, (b) criteria were used to identify each facility and (c) are the details of the outcome of the assessment; (2) whether any consultants were used to conduct the assessment; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
1. (a) (i) The functionality of the 3480 public health facilities are assessed using the Ideal Clinic Realisation and Maintenance Tool developed by the department of health as part of the Operation Phakisa Ideal Clinic Laboratory. In preparation for the introduction of National Health Insurance (NHI), the Ideal Clinic programme is setting in place a systematic approach to transform all PHC facilities to meet national standards when inspected by the Office of Health Standards Compliance (OHSC). The National Health Amendment Act (12 of 2013) mandates the OHSC to protect and promote the health and safety of health service users through monitoring and enforcing compliance with prescribed norms and standards[1]. The Ideal Clinic programme is the NDoH’s internal mechanism for ensuring PHC facilities’ compliance with these norms and standards in order to satisfy the needs of South African communities.
A dashboard, using the standard traffic-light colours, was developed. The figure below depicts the arrangement of 32 sub-components under 10 components. The 32 sub-components are further subdivided into 206 elements. The number of elements change on an annual basis as the national team receive feedback from clinical staff and managers on clinic and district level about how to improve the framework. Elements are assigned a green colour when they are fully functional, an orange colour if they are partially functional and corrective actions are under way, and a red colour if the element is absent or non-functional.
The elements are assigned a vital, essential or important weight in line with the definitions below.
The table below indicates the scores required per element weight.

The Ideal Clinic Realisation and Maintenance (ICRM) Programme follows the PLAN, DO STUDY, Act (PDSA) cycle. The first large scale planning took place in October and November 2014. This in-depth planning in a laboratory setting called “Operation Phakisa Ideal Clinic Lab” resulted in a comprehensive implementation plan. The cycle starts with status determinations by PHC facility managers(April to June) and a re-planning session in May. This is followed by the correction of weaknesses (turning red and orange elements green during July to October). In November district peer reviews are done.
Peer review results are immediately captured on the web based ICRM monitoring software tool for the purpose of result analyses (Study). District scale-up teams then assist clinic managers and staff to turn the remaining orange and red elements to green (December to February). In March peer review updates are done to determine achievement for the financial year. The NDoH receives continuous feedback from managers and staff at provincial, district and facility level about changes required to guidelines, standard operating procedures and systems processes that currently cause bottlenecks. The results are used to plan the implementation for the next year. Planning for the following year includes amendments to the framework resulting in a subsequent version.

(1) (a) Money was spent from the Conditional Grant for the Inter Facility Transfer of patients in the province.
(b) In the 2016/17 and the 2017/18 financial years.
(c) The service procured was for inter facility transfers, that is the moving of patients between health facilities.

Steyn, Ms A to ask the Minister of Health
(1)In the aftermath of his department’s response to the listeriosis outbreak, (a) what kind of regulatory measures is his department considering in order to ensure food health and safety, (b) what sort of consultations has his department had with the various industries in relation to the listeriosis outbreak and (c)(i) who was consulted and (ii) what information was obtained during these consultations; (2) (a) when will proposed guidelines on levels of Listeria monocytogenes be published to serve as minimum standard for the industry and (b) will the standards apply only to the meat processing industry or will they be applicable across all food categories and their related value chains; (3) whether any interim guidelines or an interim protocol for the food sector on Listeria levels will be published so that industry is clear on what basis they can operate; if not, will the industry continue to operate on 100 cfus per gram in a 25 g sample, as is currently the practice; (4) what are the acceptable levels of Listeria monocytogenes that he has considered; (5) (a) what is his policy position on the establishment of an independent food health and safety agency to align all areas of food handling and manufacturing regulation and (b) what action will he take to support the existence of such an agency?
Reply:
1. (a) The confirmed source of the Listeriosis outbreak, immediately triggered Regulation 4(b) in the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point System (HACC) Regulations (R908 of 2003) which requires the mandatory application of the Hazard analysis and Critical Control Point system, audited by the South African National Accreditation System (SANAS) accredited certifying bodies.
The review of the National Health Act, 2003 as well as the Foodstuffs, Cosmetics and Disinfectants Act, 1972 is underway to allow for the incorporation of reporting requirements for food testing.
(b) The South African Meat Processors Association (SAMPA) was consulted through official correspondence as well as a formal meeting.
(c) (i) SAMPA;
(ii) The industry association indicated that as they represent more than 60% of the Ready To Eat (RTE) processing industry, they have no objection that the sector be required to implement the mandatory Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point system. Levels for Listeria Monocytogenes for the products that they manufactured were clarified in relation to the levels adopted by teh Codex Alimentaius, the joint World Health Organisation and Food and Agricultural Organisation, food standards setting body for protecting consumers and facilitating trade.
2. (a) The guideline levels will be published following extensive consultation with the industry as well as other important stakeholders such as academics, epidemiologists and consumers.
(b) The regulated levels will cover all food categories that are considered as ready to eat.
3. Owing to the risk that these ready to eat meat products pose, a zero tolerance is observed until the outbreak has been contained.
According to the internationally accepted Codex Alimentarius, the current industry practice of 10 cfm/gram in a 25g sample is only applicable for foodstuffs that do not promote the growth of Listeria monocytogenes. Ready to eat processed products implicated in the outbreak promote the growth of Listeria monocytogenes and the internationally agreed level is absent when tested according to the sampling plan.
4. The international guidance has been considered. Consultation referred to in (2)(a) above will need to explore whether a zero tolerance needs to be considered owing to the new scientific research regarding the emerging nature and virulence of Listeria monocytogenes and the current health status of the South African population.
5. (a) The relevant authorities (Department of Health; Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries; Department of Trade and Industry with its two entities (National Consumer Commission and National Regulator for Compulsory Specifications) have been tasked to review the existing food control system, including legislation and recommend the best way to regulate food safety in the country.
(b) Once the review has been finalised by all parties involved, it will then be taken to the relevant stakeholders for the requisite consultation and comment.

Kopane, Ms SP to ask the Minister of Health
Whether the Free State department of health has embarked on a tender process to outsource ambulance services to private ambulance service providers; if so, (a)(i) why has the provincial department done so and (ii) has he found that the tender is not in contravention of national policy and (b) what are the further relevant details in this regard?
Reply:
The Free State Department of Health embarked on a tender process to procure services for Inter Facility ambulance services in order to augment the current Provincial EMS inter facility services within the Province.
The Province took the decision because of shortage of Intermediate and Advance life support staff within the Province that could be deployed on obstetric and critical ambulance inter-facility services.
Since the whole private ambulance matter in the Free State and North West is under investigation by National Treasury, we will have to wait for the findings of the investigation, to arrive at a well informed conclusion.

The case involves a male supervisor who gave a lift to one of the junior female staff members after they had completed their shift. The supervisor was alleged to have made inappropriate comments to the lady colleague and also wanted to touch her inappropriately. The matter was reported and the supervisor was subsequently charged and dismissed. He then referred his matter to the CCMA for adjudication. The CCMA ruled in his favour and the NHLS applied to the Labour Court to have the matter reviewed and set aside. |
After the matter was reported there was an investigation conducted which led to the conclusion that there was a case to be answered hence the supervisor was charged and dismissed from the NHLS. |

The case involves a senior manager who is alleged to have shown two junior staff members an inappropriate explicit picture of a pornographic nature. The manager concerned was charged and subjected to a disciplinary enquiry and the matter is still ongoing. |

James, Ms LV to ask the Minister of Health
Whether he has put any mechanisms in place to address the rising number of medical legal claims?
Reply:
Yes.
Medico-legal Workshop
A Medico-legal Workshop was held in Pretoria on the 13th January 2015 to look at medico-legal claims. The workshop looked at the following issues:
- Patient safety;
- The impact of medico-legal litigation on the recruitment of specialists and on access to care in South Africa;
- Management of claims; and
- Ensuring access to justice for patients harmed.
This workshop culminated in the Medico-Legal Summit which was held on 09 -10 March 2015.
Medico-legal Summit
The Medico-Legal Summit was attended by various stakeholders which included medical and legal personnel (public and private sectors); private and public health establishments (hospitals) and the World Health Organisation among others. The Medico-Legal Summit came up with the Medico-Legal Declaration. The Declaration recommended interventions in 3 areas namely: medical (patient safety), administration and legal solutions.
1. Medical Solution (Patient Safety) - This is aimed at reducing the incidences of the negligence, medical malpractice or unethical behaviour and adverse events amongst others.
2. Administrative Solution - This strives to ensure proper record keeping that will minimize the loss or theft of medical records and proper communication with patients and members of the public.
3. Legal Solution - This looks at various legal interventions including but not limited to mediation; contingency fees; the common law rule of “once and for all”; the periodic or staggered payment instead of a lump sum payment.
Medical Solution (Patient Safety)
In implementing the Medical solution (Patient Safety), the following interventions are being implemented:
(a) Ensuring that there is a Patient Experience of Care;
(b) Ensuring that there is Patient Safety Incident and Reporting, Complaints and Compliments Guidelines;
(c) The Office of Health Standards Compliance and the Health Ombud are also critical role players on the compliance with norms and standards for the provision of health services in South Africa;
(d) Ensuring that there are also Committees on Confidential Enquiries into Maternal, Neonatal and Under 5 Deaths; and
Administration
In implementing the Administrative solution, the Department has started with the following interventions:
(a) Improvement of Filing and record systems (from manual record keeping to electronic filling and record keeping);
(b) Patient Record Management;
(c) Patient Registers; and
(d) Health Patient Registration System.
Legal
In implementing the Legal solution, the Department with the assistance of Department of Justice and Constitutional Development is currently busy with the following interventions:
(a) The South African Law Reform Commission (SALRC) under Project 141 – Medico-Legal Claims has undertaken an investigation on various interventions such as mediation; contingency fees; the common law rule of “once and for all”; the periodic or staggered payment instead of a lump sum payment among others. These investigations will lead to legislative reform. In this regard, the SALRC had issued the Issue paper calling for public comments. The closing date was 30 September 2017.
(b) The Department of Justice and Constitutional Development is also introducing the State Liability Amendment Bill, 2018 to introduce periodic or staggered payment of claims instead of a lump sum payment. The State Liability Amendment Bill, 2018 is to provide for the periodic payments instead of lump sum as it is currently and the treatment of Medico-Legal claimants to be provided for in the public sector facilities (Hospitals), free of charge.
The National Health Council (“MinMEC”) passed a resolution to standardize the patient admission forms across Provinces to also include language that allow for mediation as the first compulsory step for resolution of Medico-Legal disputes. This is done with the assistance of the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development (Judge Cassim Sardiwalla and the State Attorney).

Matiase, Mr NS to ask the Minister of Health
(a) What is the total number of persons who are on the waiting list for surgery in each hospital in the Western Cape, (b) what are the reasons that each person requires surgery, (c) what is the name of each hospital they are going to have the surgery at, (d) on what date was each individual added to the waiting list and (e) by what date is each individual expected to have the surgery in each specified hospital in the Western Cape?
Reply:
(a)-(e) Honourable Member the National Department of Health does not collate this level of detailed patient level data pertaining to waiting list for surgery. Each surgical ward in a hospital has this data which is never static or stable at any one time, but is used for clinical management of patients.
There is no standardised way which the National Department can use to compile such data at national level.
This is because the criterion used to place anybody on a waiting list is too complex and very fluid to be able to compile sensible data.
Criteria for waiting lists depend on a multiplicity of complex factors like clinical evaluation, availability of beds, prioritization of some patients over others depending on their clinical conditions. Patients conditions may change within a matter of hours and this may render the list irrelevant.
Hence the list is better kept ward per ward with all these changes that may happen day per day or even hour per hour.
This problem is faced by many health authorities internationally.
END.

Carter, Ms D to ask the Minister of Health
(1)With reference to the SA Law Commission (SALC)’s work (details furnished) into end-of-life decisions and the SALC not making any recommendation on active voluntary euthanasia, (a) what is the policy position of his department on (i) managing the pain of terminally-ill patients and the doctrine of double effect, (ii) withholding and withdrawing life-sustaining treatment from patients at the request of a patient who is mentally competent to make such decisions (aa) personally or (bb) by means of an Advance Directive, commonly referred to as passive euthanasia and (b) would his department support the introduction of legislation on assisted dying, commonly referred to as active voluntary euthanasia; (2) whether he has found, in the interest of patients, their families and medical practitioners, that there is a need to clarify all or some of the aforementioned matters legislatively to ensure greater clarity and protection for all concerned; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
(1) (a) The policy position of the Department on -
(i) Managing the pain of terminally-ill patients is obtained from the World Health Organisation's resolution of Palliative Care. Terminally-ill patients must be provided adequate analgesia to stay from pain until the end.
(ii) withholding and withdrawing life-sustaining treatment is a decision taken by the treating doctor and must only be based on his or her clinical evaluation and not on anybody's request.
(b) No.
(2) Our policy on terminally-ill patients is adequately outlined in the Palliative Care policy.

Madisha, Mr WM to ask the Minister of Health
With reference to his statement on 4 March 2017 regarding the listeriosis outbreak (details furnished) and the state of the municipal environmental health services, what (a) number of municipalities are currently providing municipal environmental health services and (b) steps does the Government intend taking to improve the state of municipal environmental health services?
Reply:
(a) All 52 Metropolitan and District Municipalities are currently providing municipal/environmental health services. Municipalities are however all understaffed and underresourced to efficiently and effectively service the current population and the increasing number of business premises (formal and informal);
(b) The Department of Health has published and gazetted National Environmental Health Norms and Standards, 2015 ( Gazette No 39561 of 24 December 2015, Notice 1229 of 2015). Theaim of these Norms and standards is to promote and ensure compliance to environmental health related policies/legislation and to provide a national approach in standardizing activities in the delivery of Environmental Health Services and establish a level against which the delivery can be assessed and gaps identified. Municipalities are being audited annually since 2016/2017 against compliance with these Norms and Standards and are individually being assisted to improve their compliance thereto.
For optimal output and meaningful management that will improve service delivery, the Ministry of Health intends to request Cabinet to approve that Municipal Health Services be managed from the National Department of Health directly with a restructured system from National to Municipality and/or through controlling the allocation of resources especially budget that gets allocated to Municipalities to an extent that Municipalities will account directly to the Ministry. This will assist to monitor and enable the Ministry of Health to account on environmental health service delivery in the Country. Alternatively, and best still, is to change the law and have Environmental Health Practitioners (what used to be called Health Inspectors), to be directly hired by the Department of Health rather than municipalities.
