Singh, Mr N to ask the Minister of Health
Whether he has taken any steps to engage with his counterparts in the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries and the Department of Trade and Industry in respect of the commercialisation of hemp in South Africa, as was previously advised by the Director-General of Health, Ms Malebona Precious Matsoso, at her last appearance before the Portfolio Committee on Health on the Medical Innovation Bill [PMB1-2014]?
Reply:
Cannabis sativa (both hemp and marijuana) is regarded as an illegal substance and its production, manufacturing and trade are prohibited by Section 22A (9)(a)(i) of the Medicine and Related Substances Act 101 of 1965. Several interest groups, farmers, researchers and even members of Parliament have expressed the need to legalise the commercial production of hemp to unlock its economic potential.
The Department of Agriculture, Forestry & Fisheries (DAFF) has for a number of years coordinated an inter-departmental team, which included representatives of the Department of Health, in an effort to find solutions for the legal challenges regarding hemp. Other members of this team include the Departments of Justice and Constitutional Development, Trade & Industry, Environmental Affairs, Economic Development and the South African Police Services. The team also include the Agricultural Research Council (ARC), National Agricultural Marketing Council (NAMC) and the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR). Some of the key activities of this team included the consideration of all relevant research reports, assessment of the legal prohibitions affecting hemp production in South Africa and the approaches in other countries where hemp production has been legalised. In addition to this work, the National House of Hemp funded a feasibility study on hemp production in South Africa. The NAMC undertook this feasibility study and concluded that, if a conducive legislative environment exists, hemp production for industrial use in South Africa would be feasible.
DAFF and the Departments of Health are developing guidelines for regulating the cultivation and manufacturing of hemp and hemp products. The two Departments will involve all stakeholders for their inputs before implementing the proposed framework.

Thembekwayo, Dr S to ask the Minister of Health
(a) What is the (i) name and (ii) location of each hospital in the country that experienced pharmaceutical shortage in (aa) 2017 and (bb) 2018, (b) what is the (i) name and (ii) amount of each pharmaceutical item that was in shortage and (c) on what date did the shortage of each pharmaceutical item (i) first occur and (ii) end?
Reply:
Honourable Member, shortage of a particular pharmaceutical product is never a static issue for the whole year. It depends on a particular day or time – but also it has to be put into context because you may be short of a particular dose which will be covered by another available dose or an alternative. It will help if you specify particular pharmaceuticals and particular periods you are referring to.

Madisha, Mr WM to ask the Minister of Health
What steps does his department intend to take to meet the demand for doctors in the health care system, given that the number of graduating doctors at government-run medical schools has only marginally increased from an estimated 1 200 to 1 800 per annum since the 1970s, while the population has more than doubled during the same period?
Reply:
The number of students enrolling in medicine schools was increased in 2012 at local medical schools which is set to increase production to 2 200 graduates in 2021. This has been augmented with students who are participating in the Nelson Mandela Fidel Castor programme which has increased to 716 per annum returning to do their final year of medicine in South Africa in 2018 and then increasing to 808 in 2019. Together these streams of production mean that we are preparing for 3 188 medical interns in 2022 more than the numbers cited for the 70s.

- The CT scan for Sebokeng Hospital was relocated to Kopanong Hospital during infrastructural revitalization of the hospital. The plans included purchasing of a 64 slice CT for the newly renovated and prepared space at Sebokeng Hospital. There were no funds allocated for CT Scan.
- Kopanong hospital is 14km from Sebokeng Hospital within the same District. Although the machine is functioning and there is a Service Contract, the life span of the machine is almost obsolete, as a result there is high breakage of the CT Scan.
- The challenge is the transportation of patients to Kopanong Hospital or Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital when the machine at Kopanong hospital is broken;
- This has an effect on staff allocation as they have to escort patients to the above mentioned hospitals.
- Delay in confirming diagnosis and initiation early treatment interventions.
- Increase waiting periods as the patient’s need to be transported
- Increased Average Length Of Stay and Bed Occupancy Rate.
- It causes Labour Instability

Carter, Ms D to ask the Minister of Telecommunications and Postal Services
Following a recent admission before Parliament’s Standing Committee on Public Accounts by the State and Information Technology Agency (SITA) that SITA had essentially been captured by a certain company (name furnished), what steps does he intend to take to investigate in an open and transparent manner the admission and the circumstances that facilitated this alleged capture?
Reply:
“After referring the matter to the Department”, I have been advised by Department that the following activities have been initiated by SITA:
The matter has been referred to the HAWKS for investigation;
There are ongoing court cases wherein SITA seeks the review and setting aside of the contracts;
a forensic investigation was conducted and has since been finalised, concluding that there was wrong doing on the side of FDA assisted by some employees of SITA.
a number of employees were suspended and some have subsequently resigned;
Noting that these matters are ongoing and before the courts, therefore it is in order that the Ministry awaits the outcome of the court processes.

--+ Sectors two and three are paired, with one vehicle and two members, per shift, implying a total of eight members.

James, Ms LV to ask the Minister of Health
Whether any mechanisms have been put in place to absorb newly graduated nurses into the public health system?
Reply:
All newly-graduated nurses are required to undertake one year of community service in the public sector. On an annual basis posts are identified by the Provinces and applicants are allocated by the National Department of Health. As this is a statutory requirement all the necessary posts are made available in those areas with the greatest need.

Dudley, Ms C to ask the Minister of Health
(1)Whether he has been informed of the (a) ongoing problems at the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) and (b) concerns raised by affected students and their concerned parents; (2) why the HPCSA did remarking in previous years but now students have been informed by the Medical University of South Africa that there will be no remarking; (3) why (a) are staff of the HPCSA asking graduates with foreign qualifications to (i) submit internship and certificates of good standing and (ii) write Board exams while they have already served a 2-year internship in their country and have been admitted as doctors and (b) clinical rotation at hospitals has not been given to students from China while it has been given to students from Cuba; (4) whether the HPCSA relies on sections 3 and 4 of the Health Professions Council of South Africa Act, Act 56 of 1974, in respect of foreign students that are not from Cuba; if so, what are the relevant details; (5) whether he will investigate the HPCSA with regard to the specified queries and table his report in the National Assembly as soon as possible; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
1. (a) I am briefed from time to time about the work of the HPCSA;
(b) Please specify which students you are referring to and what their concerns are;
2. The Professional Board Examination for the Medical and Dental Professional Board is outsourced. The Board appoints a university to conduct the Board Examination. Currently Sefako Makgatho Health Sciences University is contracted to conduct the Board Examination. Therefore the HPCSA and its Board is not involved in the marking or remarking;
3. (a) (i) Regulation 4 of the regulations relating to registration of persons who hold qualifications that are not prescribed for registration (published under Government Notice R101 in Government Gazette 31859 of 6 February 2009), prescribes criteria that an application for registration must meet. Sub-regulation 4(e) provides as follows: “(e) in the case of an application for registration in a profession for which internship training is a requirement, a certificate of completed training as an intern or of similar training or experience obtained elsewhere and the programme for such training”;
It is therefore in compliance with the law that HPCSA requires the said documents.
(ii) Section 25 of the Health Professions Act, 1974 (Act No. 56 of 1974) provides as follows: “25. Registration of persons who hold qualifications not prescribed for registration
(2) A professional board may require a person who holds a qualification referred to in subsection (1) and who applies for registration in terms of this section, to pass to the satisfaction of the professional board, on a date and at a place determined by the professional board, an evaluation contemplated in subsection (3) before persons appointed by the professional board, for the purpose of determining whether such person possesses adequate professional knowledge, skill and competence and whether he or she is proficient in any of the official languages of the Republic.”
The Board examination is therefore prescribed by grievance.
(b) The HPCSA does deal with clinical rotations of students studying outside the Republic of South Africa. The HPCSA does not register students that are not studying in South Africa. Section 17 of the Act regulates registration of persons who wish to practise their profession in the Republic of South Africa;
(4) Sections 3 and of the Act relate to the objects and functions of Council and General powers of Council, respectively, and have no direct bearing on foreign students, whether from Cuba or elsewhere.
The HPCSA does not register students that are not studying in South Africa. Section 17 of the Act regulates registration of persons who wish to practise their profession in the Republic of South Africa;
(5) As stated in response to (1) above, I will furnish Parliament with a report as soon as I have engaged on the matter.

Reply:

See www.statssa.org. In addition the Global Health Data Exchange provides useful data (www.healthdata.org/South-Africa?/language=41).

(1)Has her department at any point engaged the Moonlight Foundation for Autism; if so, (2) whether any undertakings were agreed to and/or promises made at the specified engagements; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
1. The department of social development funds non-profit organisations in line with the policy on financial management act (PFMA). Annually the department through advertisements, calls for non-profit organisations to submit applications in form of a business proposal for funding. MOOFA submitted an application for funding for the 2016/17 financial year. As an emerging organisation, the department funded them to the amount of R800 000 for the 2016/17 financial year in line with their business proposal.
2. In accordance with the Policy on financial award, the department requests for periodical progress reports, financial statements, supporting documentations and proof of evidence. Site visits are also conducted periodically to assess progress and achievements in line with the business proposal. The monitoring and evaluation was conducted as done with all funded organisations. Subsequently MOOFA applied for the 2017/18 financial year. However due to non-compliance (Outstanding documents were not furnished VIZ: expenditure and financial statements). They were not considered for funding for the 2017/18 financial year. MOOFA was advised that due to non-compliance, the application for the 2017/18 financial year was unsuccessful. The department was awaiting outstanding documents to reconcile their reports from MOOFA.

Dreyer, Ms AM to ask the Minister of Police
(1) Whether, with reference to his reply to question 1788 on 18 June 2018, and in view of the fact that the Tembisa South Police Station has three sectors, he has found that the optimal number of police officers for visible policing should actually be 48, in correlation with four members per shift per sector for four shifts; if not, how can the specified police station be expected to fulfil its requirement of two sector vehicles patrolling each sector at all times; (2) given the inevitability of police officers taking leave, including but not limited to family responsibility leave, sick leave, study leave and annual leave, what number of additional visible police officers should the police station have in order to ensure that two vehicles per sector are patrolling at all times?
Reply:
(1) The Tembisa South Police Station is currently unable to fulfil the requirement of two vehicles, per sector, due to a shortage of resources.
(2) The Tembisa South Police Station consists of five sectors, with two members, per sector, per shift and one vehicle. In order to fulfil the requirement of two vehicles, per sector, to patrol at all times, the following additional resources are needed:

van der Merwe, Ms LL to ask the Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs
1) Whether he has been informed of any allegations of abuse of power and sexual harassment levelled against a certain person (details furnished); if so, (a) has he instituted an investigation into the allegations and (b) what steps has he taken to remedy the situation; 2) what measures exist within the entity to support members of staff who have experienced abuse, violence and sexual harassment?
Reply:
1. SALGA has not informed me of any allegations of the abuse of power and sexual harassment, levelled against its Chief Financial Officer.
(a) I was not informed of any allegations of the abuse of power and sexual harassment. Therefore, I have not instituted any investigations into these allegations.
(b) Not applicable.
2. According to the reply received from SALGA, the organization is also not aware of such allegations. The organization has no record of any complaint levelled against the Chief Financial Officer in terms of the organization’s Grievance Policy and Process. Nor has there ever been a complaint lodged via the anonymous channel that the organization has put in place terms of its Employee Health and Wellness Policy, that is managed through an external Employee Assistance Program (EAP) provider namely, CAREWAYS.
The organization has a set of policies approved by the SALGA’s National Executive Committee that includes the following, amongst others:
• Code of ethics and business conduct – the policy objective is to ensure that everyone involved with SALGA, conducts business with the highest standards of ethics, integrity, desired business conduct and professional behavior and ensures that the integrity of both SALGA and its employees is not compromised.
• Harassment policy – the policy outlines SALGA’s stance on harassment, particularly sexual harassment, which constitutes discrimination and ensures a common understanding throughout SALGA, with regard to a misconduct of this nature and sets out the procedures to be adhered to in order to ensure that incidents of harassment are reported and are dealt with seriously, expeditiously and confidentially.
• Grievance Policy and Process – the policy has an objective of affording any employee or group of employees with a grievance as an opportunity to resolve such grievances internally in a reasonable and fair manner.
• Discipline and dismissal policy – the policy provides a code of conduct as a guideline for an unacceptable behavior, which stipulates provisions to regulate the management of misconduct and provides for dismissal of employees for reasons of misconduct.
• In addition to organizational policies, the organization periodically convenes the Women’s and Men’s Dialogue forums for SALGA staff to amongst others, increase women’s engagement in peacebuilding and improve attitudes and perceptions towards coexistence, trust building and appreciation of diversity and social cohesion.

Marais, Mr S to ask the Minister of Police
(1) With reference to two cases, CAS 259/10/2015 and 261/10/2015, registered at the Worcester Police Station, (a) what are the reasons that the two cases are delayed and not sent to the State prosecutor at the Worcester Magistrate Court, (b) why was the Western Cape Police Ombudsman not able to conclude on the cases subsequent to them being referred to him and (c) what is the usual time frame for such cases to be concluded and referred to the prosecuting authorities;(2) whether he has found that the delay is intentional; if not, why has there been a time delay of three years; if so, (a) what steps will his department take to speed up the investigations and (b) what consequences will the officials who are not dealing with the cases promptly suffer? (2) whether he has found that the delay is intentional; if not, why has there been a time delay of three years; if so, (a) what steps will his department take to speed up the investigations and (b) what consequences will the officials who are not dealing with the cases promptly suffer?
Reply:
(1)(a) The two case dockets, Worcester, CAS 259/10/2015 and 261/10/2015, were submitted to the Senior Public Prosecutor (SPP), on several occasions and returned with guidance on further investigations to be conducted. The last date that the case dockets were returned, was on 5 September 2018 and the Investigating Officer is busy dealing with the instructions, which were issued by the SPP.

Dube, Mr J J to ask the Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs
To what extent has he found that the time spent by the Mayor of the City of Cape Town in court affected municipal service delivery, particularly to areas in dire need of services (details furnished
Reply:
We are always guided by the Constitution and the Legislative framework in dealing with matters of investigations and allowing judiciary processes to run their course. It is necessary during this period that the municipal service delivery responsibilities are not impacted upon and the administration continues to effectively deliver on their responsibilities. The implementation of service delivery programmes rests with the administration led by the Municipal Manager, which has the responsibility and obligation to continue their work regardless of the impasse experienced at political leadership level.
Ends.
