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).

Tshwaku, Mr M to ask the Minister of Energy

Did certain persons (names furnished) declare that they were directors in certain companies (details furnished), all of which had their bids accepted as part of the most recently signed Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Programme agreements; if so, on what basis was this approved?

Reply:

Projects are not evaluated on the directorship of participating companies but rather on the shareholding of each project company to ensure that the bid criteria in respect of South African Entity and Black ownership participation are met. Thus the persons (names furnished) were not required to declare directorship.

All bidders are bound by rules against collusion which may result in disqualification. The commonality in directorship in the specified project companies refer to a group of companies with the same shareholding structure. Thus, collusion with another bidding group or developer is not relevant. The individual bids by the named project companies competed with multiple other bids in respect of the unique offering of each underlying project, in terms of a combination of factors that inform their pricing, for example location, size of plant and technology.

Esterhuizen, Mr JA to ask the Minister of Economic Development

What (a) is the rationale behind Government’s imposition of import duties on imported steel and (b) has he found to be the impact of the import duties on the amount of steel that was imported in the (i) 2016-17 and (ii) 2017-18 financial years?

Reply:

a) The rationale behind Government’s imposition of import duties on imported steel was to protect local steel manufacturing capacity from the surge of imports resulting from the global oversupply of steel.

South Africa is the only African country with this manufacturing capability and the steel industry is strategic to the country, given its linkages with other sectors of the economy.

The extremely low-priced imports of primary steel products originating mainly from Asia were harming local steel producers, as demonstrated by declining market shares, reduction in sales and production volumes, low capacity utilisation, declining employment and investments. The local producers were in a deteriorating competitive position in part attributable to escalating costs. Evraz Highveld Steel and Vanadium Ltd, the sole domestic manufacturer of heavy structural steel, ceased manufacturing and filed for business rescue.  When industry applied to the State for assistance, Government considered the application and approved a request for increased import duties.

In the case of the largest steel producer, government placed a reciprocal commitment on the company to increase its level of capital spending in order to improve its overall competitiveness; and the company agreed to save jobs that would otherwise have been lost as a result of retrenchments.

b) The overall impact of duties on the amount of steel imported into the domestic industry has been positive between the 2016/17 and 2017/18 financial years. This is evident from the decline in import volumes of flat and long steel products over the periods mentioned (see below table). However, imports of certain coated flat steel (galvanised) products are showing an increasing trend. This may be due to the importation of niche products and ultra-thin galvanised flat products which are not locally manufactured or they may reflect in part a circumvention of duties by importers. ITAC has been requested to monitor this and to take appropriate steps where warranted.

Figg, Mr MJ to ask the Minister of Public Works

(a) What is the current amount that is outstanding in terms of rental income for each Ministerial residence, (b) which Ministers are in arrears, (c) what is the (i) location and (ii) description of each residence with outstanding rental income, (d) what is the cost of monthly rental of each of the specified residences and (e) what processes have been followed to collect outstanding debt?

Reply:

I appreciate this question from the Honourable Member, as it has brought to my attention a crucial matter regarding the payment of rental costs for Ministerial houses. The officials of the Department of Public Works are currently in the process of verifying the debt owed to the Department with the relevant Ministries. Thus, it would be premature of me to release unverified figures at this stage.

Nevertheless, what is apparent is that there may have been a systemic lapse in terms of the collection of rent from Members of the National Executive, because some amounts are beyond what would be regarded as normal debt (i.e. under 3 months of rental owed).

To this effect I have asked the Departmental officials to reconcile the debt and verify all the amounts owed to the Department of Public Works in respect of Ministerial houses. I have also sought assurance that measures have been undertaken to ensure that rent for Ministerial houses is collected on a monthly basis from all the Ministers and Deputy Ministers who are supposed to be paying that rent.

I can assure the Honourable Member that the Members of the Executive are fully committed to paying their rental costs. What we must ensure is that we address the systemic gap that has caused the debt to escalate for certain Ministerial houses.

Did certain persons (names furnished) declare that they were directors in certain companies (details furnished), all of which had their bids accepted as part of the most recently signed Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Programme agreements; if so, on what basis was this approved?

Reply:

Projects are not evaluated on the directorship of participating companies but rather on the shareholding of each project company to ensure that the bid criteria in respect of South African Entity and Black ownership participation are met. Thus the persons (names furnished) were not required to declare directorship.

All bidders are bound by rules against collusion which may result in disqualification. The commonality in directorship in the specified project companies refer to a group of companies with the same shareholding structure. Thus, collusion with another bidding group or developer is not relevant. The individual bids by the named project companies competed with multiple other bids in respect of the unique offering of each underlying project, in terms of a combination of factors that inform their pricing, for example location, size of plant and technology.

(b) Which ones were found to have a negative socio-economic impact since 1 September 2015?  

It should be noted that DPME does not reject proposals. Proposals that were found to have potential negative socio-economic impact were sent back to departments for improvements. Cabinet would not approve any proposal that contradicts the Constitution and the National Development Plan. Examples of key ones in the public domain which were referred back by DPME for further processing and improvements particularly on mitigation of identified risks (possible unintended consequences) are the Regulations of Agricultural Land Holding Bill which still need to be processed by Parliament and the Mining Charter which is being currently being revised.

DPME working together with custodian departments encourages stakeholders to participate and provide factual comments to the Liquor Amendment and the proposed Tobacco Products and Electronic Systems Bills which have been perceived as having unintended consequences by various groupings.

Other common challenges where DPME referred back or intervened on departments’s SEIAS reports and proposals included the following:

  • Lack of evidence based policy making including use of evaluations, research and other references to inform amendments or development of new proposals.
  • This became evident with challenges around problem identification and choice of policy options to address such problems (articulation on Theory of Change);
  • Limited consultation with affected stakeholders both internally within departments and across;
  • Inability to quantify costs related to the implementation of the proposals; and
  • Poor mitigation strategies to minimise associated costs and identified risks.

1. (a) and (b) The formula used for the diversion rate is informed by the estimated waste tyres arising, taking into account the availability of financial resources.

Indicator title

Percentage increase in waste diverted from landfill

Short definition

Measure the amount/increase in waste which has been diverted (i.e. waste re-used, recycled and recovered)

Purpose/importance

To reduce the amount of waste going to landfill sites and protect the environment by ensuring that set targets on management of waste, as per approved industry waste management plans, are achieved and that the intended objectives are realized

Source/collection of data

Monthly operational reports from WB operations

Method of calculation

[(Waste tonnages re-used, recycled and used for energy recovery)/waste arising per annum)*100]

(a)Will she undertake an investigation into the neglect of Clivia plants by Customs officials at the OR Tambo International Airport due to their large value, (b) what immediate steps can be taken to ensure that (i) clearance procedures for these Clivia plants can be expedited and (ii) due diligence is practiced when these plants are being held in Customs to ensure their wellbeing, (c) can she give any assurance to breeders attending the International Conference of Clivia Breeders taking place in South Africa in September 2018, that their Clivia plants will be treated with the necessary care in Customs and (d) what recourse do plant breeders have when an entire consignment is lost due to neglect at Customs?

Reply:

a) Environmental Management Inspectors (EMIs) of the Department of Environmental Affairs investigates non-compliance with Regulations under the National Environmental Management: Biodiversity Act and the National Environmental Management: Protected Areas Act such as the Threatened or Protected Species Regulations (ToPS) and the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). The department has not been informed of the neglect of Clivia plants by Customs officials at OR Tambo International Airport. Please note that only one Clivia species, namely Clivia mirabilis or "Oorlogskloof" Bush Lily is listed on ToPS as protected. If the plants which were neglected by Customs at OR Tambo International have been identified as Clivia mirabilis then the departmental EMIs can investigate what has transpired and why the plants were neglected.

b) As indicated above, the Department of Environmental Affairs is responsible for the regulation of restricted activities relating to species listed under, among others, ToPS and CITES. The South African Revenue Service (SARS) Customs and Excise is the only body which can clear goods being imported into the country. You will thus need to request SARS Customs and Excise to assist with (i) clearance procedures for these Clivia plants and to ensure that (ii) due diligence is practised to ensure their well-being when these plants are being held in the Customs area.

c) It is not possible for the department to give any assurance to breeders attending the International Conference of Clivia Breeders taking place in South Africa in September 2018, that their Clivia plants will be treated with the necessary care by Customs. This request needs to be made to SARS Customs and the Department of Finance.

d) Similarly, the question would need to be referred to SARS Customs and the Department of Finance in relation to any recourse that plant breeders may have if an entire consignment is lost due to neglect at Customs.

Profile picture: Esau, Mr S

Esau, Mr S to ask the Minister of Defence and Military Veterans

(a) How is the loss of scarce skills being addressed at 1 Military Hospital, (b) why is the appointment of medical doctors delayed while the hospital is experiencing a high vacancy rate, (c) has the occupational specific dispensation been implemented fully at the hospital and (d) how does SA Military Health Services plan to minimise outsourcing the ostensibly expensive medical services that can cause a significant over-expenditure at the expense of other medical services?

Reply:

(1)(a) How is the loss of scarce skills being addressed at 1 Military Hospital,

The loss of scarce skills has decreased dramatically over the past three years. In the past 24 months, 24 medical doctors have been appointed, three of these being specialists. However, the total number of health care practitioner (HCP) posts available for all the hospitals (specifically with regard to medical doctors, specialised nurses, technicians in the laboratory, radiology and technologists to undertake the repair and maintenance of equipment) will be reviewed to ensure that the SA Military Health Service takes full advantage of the results of the refurbishment and medical equipment procurement.

(b) Why is the appointment of medical doctors delayed while the hospital is experiencing a high vacancy rate,

As stated in the response to the first part of the question, the personnel acquisition process has improved dramatically and no delays are currently experienced in the appointment of HCPs. Hence the appointment of 24 health care practitioners in the past 24 months.

(c) Has the occupational-specific dispensation been implemented fully at the hospital, and

The occupational-specific dispensation has been implemented fully with respect to medical doctors. Some challenges are being experienced in the application of the occupational-specific dispensation with regard to nursing personnel.

(d) How does the SA Military Health Service plan to minimise outsourcing the ostensibly expensive medical services that can cause a significant over-expenditure at the expense of other medical services?

The SA Military Health Service has put management interventions and measures in place to minimise the cost of outsourcing whilst awaiting the completion of the refurbishment project. The management interventions include the case management (or concept of “managed health care”) of all patients who are outsourced in order to control and manage the level of care and ‘hospital stay’ as ‘hospital stays’ are a major cost driver. The managed health care concept furthermore ensures that each patient receives the level of health interventions and care as approved. In the event that any additional health interventions or care is required, further approval within the managed health care concept takes place.

Further management interventions include negotiated and preferred agreed tariffs with particular health providers. Also, in cases where particular specialist interventions are required that could be performed at the military hospitals, the specialist is encouraged to perform the procedure in the military hospital. As the sustainment of stock levels for pharmaceuticals and medical consumables is also critical in minimising cost, the matter has been registered as a standing agenda point on the weekly SA Military Health Service Command Council meetings.

Schmidt, Adv H to ask the Minister of Justice and Correctional Services

(a) What number of cases relating to the Prevention and Combating of Corrupt Activities Act, Act 12 of 2004, as amended, have been referred to the (i) SA Police Service (SAPS) and (ii) Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (DPCI) by (aa) his department and (bb) each entity reporting to him for further investigation since the Act was assented to and (b) what number of the specified cases have (i) been investigated by SAPS and DPCI, (ii) been followed up by the respective accounting officers and (iii) resulted in a conviction in each specified financial year since 2004?

Reply:

(aa) According to information kept by the Forensic Audit Unit (FAU), the statistics being provided are from 2005 until 2018. However, only few records for the years 2005 – 2009 could be retrieved and provided. The statistics for the year 2007 and 2010 could not be retrieved at all.

The FAU then provided the statistics for the years 2011 – 2018 with the exception of those cases that were referred to the South African Police Service (SAPS) and those that were referred to the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (DPCI). All the statistics for the years 2005 - 2009 were largely stated as only being referred to the SAPS.

The presentation of the statistics was done in four categories to indicate (i) successful prosecution (ii) Withdrawn and closed by either the SAPS or DPCI (iii) Feedback not being provided by (in most cases the SAPS) despite several efforts trying to contact them and (iv) Investigation is still in progress and further update was never provided.

It must be noted that there has been and still is a problem as far as the communication between the SAPS and those directorates in the Department of Justice & Constitutional Development to obtain the feedback on all the matters/cases referred to the SAPS. It appeared to be a bit effective between the DPCI and the directorates of the Department to provide feedback on the matters/cases referred to the DPCI.

The Honourable Member should kindly note that all the category of cases that are being reflected as “investigation still in progress” on the above table, is due to unavailability of case dockets in certain instances and also the fact that the key officers could not be located within the Law Enforcement Agencies. These cases are still kept open even though they are more than three (3) years old, due to the fact that the Law Enforcement Agencies are of the view that evidence may still come to light.

De Freitas, Mr MS to ask the Minister of Transport

With reference to the statistics generated during the Easter period in 2018, (a) what road campaigns took place (i) leading up to, (ii) during and (iii) after the specified period, (b) what were the objectives of each campaign in each province, (c) were the objectives met, (d) how was this measured, (e) where did each campaign take place, (f) to whom were the campaigns targeted and (g) what amount was spent on each campaign in each province?

Reply:

a) (i)      The following campaigns were undertaken leading up to Easter :

Driver workshops – road safety education workshop was conducted among drivers of major bus companies that were scheduled to transport people to different places of pilgrimageThe emphasis of the workshop was on fatigue management, pre-trip inspections, safe vehicles, impaired driving as well as reckless driving. Drivers were exposed to public transport accident scene that took place during the 2017 Easter Period. The Department of Health and the Road Accident Fund provided information on issues related to health fitness and wellbeing.

 

Road Awareness at institutions - road safety awareness activities were undertaken at churches, Taxi Ranks, Schools, places of entertainment, as well as filling stations along the major routes.  The purpose of the awareness activities was to increase knowledge and skills among travellers in relation to vehicle safety, overloading of passengers and goods, as well as substance abuse. Road safety officials were deployed at various transport public hubs which were known to be congested during Easter period as a result of travellers to raise awareness about safety on the roads.

Pedestrian Awareness - heightened pedestrian awareness activities were undertaken in areas, which are identified as hazardous locations. The focuses of the pedestrian activity were primarily on visibility, the safe crossing of roads, impaired walking as well as jay-walking.

 Youth road safety - Young people are largest group involved in reckless and negligent driving due to their attitudes towards safe road usage.  Road safety education campaigns were undertaken leading up to Easter at institutions of higher learning and the focus was on impaired walking and driving, dangerous walking and pedestrian visibility.

  

The activities were supported by a strong media campaign that included interviews and social media activations.

 (ii)     The following campaigns were undertaken during the Easter period:

  • Intensified law enforcement operations by national, provincial and local traffic authorities took place during the Easter period focussing inter alia on speed management, drunken driving, reckless and negligent driving, overloading, vehicle roadworthiness and cross-border operations.
  • Road safety education activities were staged on all routes that were identified.
  • Radio and television interviews were conducted on local, regional and national stations throughout the period to sustain the messages on safe Easter travel. Social media interactions were also intensified to reach young travellers.

(iii)   The following campaigns were undertaken after the Easter period:

Media interactions continued after the Easter period on all the platforms including TV and road interviews and social media platforms. The campaigns continued over the Worker’s day (May 1)  long weekend.

(b)     The objectives of the campaigns were to reduce fatalities on the identified hazardous routes and improve road user behaviour.

(c)       There was a reduction in crashes on identified hazardous routes however new hazardous routes emerged in other areas. The number of passenger fatalities were reduced although pedestrian fatalities increased suggesting that more work is still required.

(d)    This was measured by analyzing crashes and fatalities and comparing the outcome to the similar period in the previous years.

(e)    The campaigns took place at churches, institutions of higher learning, taxi ranks, halfway station along major routes, premises of major bus operators, on the roads in the form of roadblocks and on various media platforms.

(f)     The campaigns were targeted at drivers of public transport vehicles, passengers, pedestrians, the youth and faith-based organisations.

(g)   The campaigns were undertaken with approved operational budgets of provincial departments and municipalities.

(1)Whether her department has a sexual harassment and assault policy in place; if not, (a) why not and (b) by what date will her department have such a policy in place; if so, (i) how are reports investigated and (ii) what are the details of the consequence management and sanctions stipulated by the policy; (2) (a) what is the total number of incidents of sexual harassment and assault that have been reported in her department (i) in each of the past three financial years and (ii) since 1 April 2017, (b) what number of cases were (i) opened and concluded, (ii) withdrawn and (iii) remain open based on the incidents and (c) what sanctions were issued for each person who was found to have been guilty?

Reply:

  1. (a) Yes, the Department of Basic Education has a sexual harassment and assault policy in place.

(b) (i) The policy has been in place since 2014. The policy stipulates the procedure which should be followed in the reporting and investigation of allegations of sexual harassment in the Department. Clauses 19.1 to 19.3 of the policy provide a detailed procedure that must be followed in the investigation of alleged reports of sexual harassment. The procedure includes both formal and informal investigation. The formal procedure involves the following:

  • The sexual harassment complaint must be reported to the Director-General or the Sexual Harassment Advisor in writing and the statement must include:

(i) The name of the respondent;

(ii) Date when the incident occurred;

(iii) Where it occurred; and

(iv) Details of how the actual sexual harassment occurred.

(ii) In the event where the grievance procedure has been finalised, and management is of the view that there is a prima facie case against the respondent, disciplinary steps must be instituted as per the provisions of the Disciplinary Code and Procedure in the Public Service (PSCBC Resolution 1 of 2003 read with Chapter 7 of SMS Handbook).

The sanctions provided in clause 19.4 of the policy include, should the respondent be found guilty of the offence: a) Counselling, b) Verbal warning, c) Final written warning, d) suspension/fine, e) demotion or f) dismissal.

If the Director-General is the perpetrator, the Executive Authority becomes the authority that appoints the Sexual Harassment Advisor and makes decisions on the case. Once the Sexual Harassment Advisor has been appointed, all terms and procedures set out in the policy for subsequent action shall apply without exception, read with the necessary changes.

A complainant of sexual harassment has the right to press separate criminal charges and/or civil claims against the respondent if they so wish. The legal rights of the complainant are in no way limited by the DBE policy.

2. (a) (i) Financial years 2014/15 to 2016/17: No incidents of sexual harassment and assault reported.

(ii) Since April 2017: No incidents of sexual harassment and assault reported.

(b)(i) Not applicable. No cases reported.

(ii) Not applicable. No cases reported.

(iii) Not applicable. No cases reported.

(c) Not applicable. No cases reported.
