Bara, Mr M R to ask the Minister of Defence and Military Veterans

Whether military hospitals are considered as critical infrastructure and, therefore, classified as National Key Points; if so, are all the measures in place to fulfil the prescribed requirements and the concomitant budget allocation?

Reply:

Yes, Military hospitals are critical infrastructure to the Department of Defence and Military Veterans.

The Military Hospitals are not promulgated as National Key Points, but are classified as strategic Military installations requiring more stringent security measures.

The budget allocation to the SAMHS is determined by the total demands and requirements of the entire Department of Defence which as reported is grossly underfunded. The Department has however put measures in place to maintain the operational readiness and integrity of the SANDF even under conditions of limited resources.

(a) Sport Focus Schools (SFS) are the pinnacle of the School Sport System and represent the first layer of our Sport Academy system as outlined in the South African Sport Academies Strategic Framework and Policy Guidelines. The SFS plays a central role in developing and nurturing talent identified by talent scouts in the national school sport leagues. It further ensures that each talented athlete has a development pathway in line with the National Federation’s Long-Term Participation Development Plan.

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

How does the SA Military Health Service plan to mitigate and minimise the outsourcing of critical medical services, which is very expensive, causes in over-expenditure and impacts on delivery of other medical services?

Source
Link

Reply:

Outsourcing is an inherent medical service multiplier. All medical service providers make use of outsourcing to some degree; it is an intrinsic characteristic of the healthcare system. In disciplines where low potential patient numbers can be expected, it makes economic sense to outsource. In some instances, outsourcing is unavoidable. It is, however, true that the figures of medical outsourcing in the SAMHS is high as outsourcing directly coupled to the financial, logistical and human resources of the SAMHS.

The SAMHS will only be able to mitigate and minimise the outsourcing of critical medical services if the total healthcare system could be addressed through an adequate budget allocation. The total healthcare system includes inter alia the replacement of redundant medical technology and medical equipment, filling of all vacant post for healthcare practitioners and critical support staff such as ambulance drivers, the comprehensive refurbishment of military hospitals and other military healthcare facilities and sufficient funds for medical consumables and pharmaceuticals. For a healthcare system to function optimally, all elements (qualified and skilled personnel, suitable equipment/technology, suitable facilities and sufficient budget) must be present. The absence of any of these elements must inevitably result in outsourcing.

Initial steps to address the challenges are being quantified through the Defence Review implementation planning team as part of the implementation milestone 1: Arresting the decline.

Cassim, Mr Y to ask the Minister of Defence and Military Veterans

(a) What is the total number of vacancies that currently exists in each branch of the SA National Defence Force, (b) what are the salary levels of the specified vacancies and (c) what amount in remuneration packages will be needed to fill the vacancies?

Source

Reply:

National Treasury’s (NT) final letter of allocation dated 6 February 2017 to the Department of Defence (DOD) confirmed the total allocation towards the payment of compensation for the FY2017/18 Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) period and has been reduced by R5.5 billion.

Parliament has not reduced the operational commitments of the SANDF and therefore the SANDF cannot withdraw from external and internal deployments without Cabinet approval. It can also not reduce the number of personnel due to the fact that operational commitments will have to be discontinued.

(a) What is the total vacancies that currently exists in each branch of the SANDF?

In the light of the above the DOD maintains its HR strength as on 1 April 2017 (76,645) for the FY2017/18 that resulted in a projected over-expenditure of Rb1,4. These challenges were communicated to NT in numerous communique as well as the monthly Early Warning report. Therefore the DOD does not have vacant funded posts but 29,428 vacant unfunded posts.

(b) What are the salary levels of the specified vacancies?

These vacancies exist in all levels in the DOD, military and civilian.

(c) What amount in remuneration packages will be needed to fill the vacancies?

It will cost the DOD approximately Rb10 to fill these vacancies.

Reply:

(1) (a) The official international trips that I and the Deputy Minister undertake at any given period are always guided by the provisions of the Ministerial Handbook.

(b) The aspects that relate to the purpose, outcome and duration of each official international trip are considered by the President before he approves such official trips in line with the Ministerial Handbook.

(c) Costs incurred by the Executive and or the Government officials are readily made available in relevant annual reports which are tabled in Parliament .

27 November 2017 - NW3361

Van der Westhuizen, Mr AP to ask the Minister of Higher Education and Training

(1)Whether she has found that the decrease in the number of students assisted by the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) at public technical vocational education and training (TVET) colleges from 235 988 in 2016 to 225 950 in 2017 represents a trend that should be reversed; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what actions will she undertake to ensure that the number of students at public TVET colleges studying with NSFAS support is increased; and (2) What growth in the number of TVET college students studying with NSFAS support over the medium term does she deem to be in line with the growth in the number of students in need of financial support

Source
Link

Reply:

1. The Ministry is aware of the trend and is in full agreement that this trajectory must be reversed. The Department’s Medium Term Strategic Framework targets 200 000 students per annum and therefore the Department is within the target range. There are year-to-year variations in the numbers depending on the number of students applying and qualifying. The reduced numbers are attributed to the growing demand for increased allowances from those already funded due to the cost of accommodation and travel. Added to this, the majority of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) colleges were not participating in the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) centralised student-centred model in 2016. In 2016, sixteen (16) Colleges participated in the NSFAS student-centred model and 34 Colleges used an old and outdated NSFAS administrative system to process student applications. The old NSFAS administrative system did not entail verification of students’ supporting documents submitted by various government departments and thus a high number of students were awarded bursaries.

In 2017 the NSFAS centralised student-centred system was rolled out to all TVET Colleges requiring all applications of TVET College students to be processed through the new student-centred model which involves rigorous verification of applications of students. This stringent verification of students’ applications may have attributed to the decreased number of NSFAS beneficiaries in 2017 since many students, especially those who do not qualify for travel and accommodation allowances, are reluctant to complete and sign the bursary documentation. However, it must be noted that NSFAS has not concluded processing applications for 2017 and as such the number of NSFAS beneficiaries is likely to increase.

2. For the last seven (7) years, bursary funding for TVET Colleges has only been increasing in line with the Consumer Price Index. Taking into account the accompanying annual increase in tuition fees, a substantial increase in the number of NSFAS beneficiaries is not feasible from the allocated funds. Therefore, the number of public TVET College students benefitting from NSFAS is likely to remain stable unless there is a substantial increase of bursary funding from the voted funds. Motivations in this regard have been made to the National Treasury to increase the NSFAS allocations to TVET colleges in terms of providing relief to all who qualify for NSFAS support but there is insufficient funding and the current accommodation and travel allowance is insufficient to cover the costs.

Accordingly, The Ministry introduced an aftercare programme which amongst other things is aimed at ensuring that all the concerns and service delivery issues raised by the Communities are attended to and eventually resolved. This practice include letters written to relevant departments in all three spheres of Government to inform them about pertinent issues raised by the communities.

There is a further principle adopted by the Ministry to visit the Communities after three months to monitor and evaluate if efforts are working and also if challenges have been addressed and resolved.

Reply:

In the main the implementation of the National Solar Water Heater (SWH) Programme has been delayed by the need to and meetings, and agree with critical stakeholders such as the municipalities.

1) (a) Following the consultation referred to in (1) above, collaboration with participating municipalities has now been formalised through the signing of Municipal Framework Agreements.

(b) The Department convened consultative meetings with the following municipalities:

Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality (on 03/03/2017);
Ventersdorp/Tlokwe Local Municipality (on 30/03/2017);
Bitou Local Municipality (on 09/05/2017);
uMgungundlovu District Municipality (on 13/11/2017);and
eThekwini Metropolitan Municipality (on 14/11/2017).

(c) The meetings resolved that:

Municipalities will:

Select and propose to the Department the areas in which SWHs will be installed;
Identify government owned warehouses that are in close proximity to the installation areas;
Submit databases of job-seekers that reside within, or are closer to, the targeted beneficiary communities; and
Fast-track the outstanding Municipal Framework Agreements (where applicable).
The Department will send to the municipalities the technical standards, specification and requirements which will apply to the SWH(s) that are compatible with the climatic conditions of the Designated Installation Areas(s).

3) The municipalities are willing to participate in the Programme particularly because the targeted households are in the main low income segments who also benefit from free basic energy programmes.

4) Most municipalities that the Department has engaged to date have demonstrated capacity to support the programme in accordance with the municipal obligations contained in the Municipal Framework Agreement. For example, some municipalities have provided the Department with the list of installation areas as well as the database of job-seekers, The Department continues to consult and support municipalities that are lagging behind in terms of fulfilling their obligations.

Maynier, Mr D to ask the Minister of Finance

Whether he has entered into any discussion about reinstituting the Counter Money Laundering Advisory Council; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?

Source

Reply:

Yes, a meeting was held with the Minister of Justice and officials regarding the implementation of the Financial Intelligence Amendment Act, which included a discussion on the consultative mechanisms to replace Counter Money Laundering Advisory Council. At the meeting it was agreed that an Inter-Departmental Anti-Money Laundering and Combating the Financing of Terrorism Forum be set up to operate initially, to improve the quality of consultation for implementation, after which we will consider how best to legislate such consultation forums.

The mandate of the Committee would be to promote discussion, collaboration and coordination between the relevant law enforcement agencies, government departments and regulatory authorities to ensure that the South African authorities are more effective in implementing both the spirit and letter of the complete legal framework against money laundering and terrorist financing. In addition, a consultative structure to facilitate engagements with accountable institutions in the private sector is also being established, with a Banking Sector AML/CFT Steering Committee already having been established. Treasury has published a consultation document to seek public comments on these new consultation mechanisms We will monitor how well these consultation forums work over the year or two, and thereafter make a decision on how best to formalize the consultation forums.

There is therefore no intention to legislate for the continuation of the CMLAC, as we want to deepen and improve our consultative mechanisms to strengthen implementation. The CMLAC played a significant role in the drafting of the initial regulations of the FIC Act when it was first enacted in 2003, but was not as effective as a forum for implementation. This was pointed out in the explanatory memo of the Amendment Bill when it was tabled in Parliament in 2015.

1.The details are outlined below.

a) The process followed to appoint Dr Ingrid Tufvesson to the SANEDI Board is the process outlined in section 8(2) of the Nuclear Energy Act.

b) The National Energy Act does not specify any particular criteria that must be met to fill the Chairpersonship, save for the requirement contained in section 8(9), which states that a Board member must have a relevant qualifications and experience or special knowledge.

c) The National Energy Act does not require the SANEDI Board Chairperson to hold specialist energy-related qualifications. However, the Department is confident that Dr Tufvesson possesses the necessary skill and experience to provide effective strategic leadership to the SANEDI Board and the organisation.

2. The position was not advertised, as it is not a specific requirement of the National Energy Act that this must take place.

3. Yes, the consultation with the Minister of Science and Technology was not specific to the Chairperson but rather to the Board as a whole as required by the National Energy Act.

Reply:

Following the report of the Medical Task Team appointed by the Minister and the subsequent acceptance of all its recommendations, there has been much improvement in addressing the Human Resources challenges at the SAHMS

1. (a) The loss of scarce skills at 1 Military Hospital are managed as a critical issue in the SAMHS. Bilateral meetings have taken place between the SAMHS and the Human Resource Division to ensure the appointment of healthcare practitioners, especially medical officers and specialists.

(b) Collaboration has taken place between the SAMHS and staff of the Human Resources Division to address processes and procedures. The agreements are being enforced and the initial delays in appointment of the capability had been successfully addressed.

2. The occupational service dispensation (OSD) has been fully implemented at 1 Military Hospital in line with the prescripts of the Department of Public Service Administration after a comprehensive audit was performed on the personal files of all healthcare practitioners in the SAMHS.

3. The commuted overtime of medical professionals in the SAMHS are aligned to that of the Department of Health.

4. (a) It is argued that the current status of OSD and commuted overtime do not have an impact on the loss of medical professionals in the SAMHS as application of the OSD and commuted overtime are applied according to the prescripts and procedures that are followed for the National Department of Health.

(b) The lack or unavailability of specialized medical equipment does impact on the recruitment and retention of medical professionals for utilisation in the military hospitals.

(c) As was indicated in Question 3389 1 b the appointment process of medical doctors had been streamlined. Flexible arrangements had been agreed upon to facilitate and are enforced to ensure the speedy appointment of especially medical officers and specialists.

Source

Reply:

1. No tender was advertised, therefore, parts (a) to (f) of the question are not applicable. Ms Thomas was contracted under the single source rules in terms of Supply Chain Management guidelines[1].

2. The National Treasury only has the capacity to undertake some aspects of such study but often for once-off projects that are not planned for, such research would take officials away from other critical work. Furthermore, it was also important to secure the services of an independent expert rather than rely on the JSE or other active stakeholders more directly involved in the ownership debate. This paper is merely the start of a research process on this matter and the National Treasury is in the process of inviting local researchers to peer review the work of Ms Thomas, as well as similar papers available on the nature of ownership of listed companies in South Africa, so as to provide a credible basis for supporting the transformation debate in South Africa.

Question 2

The specified tender was first advertised in February 2013 and was finally awarded in May 2016 after been advertised and retracted on only two occasions. It is important to note that in the intervening period, there were three changes in the board of directors of SAAT (the board), each with different views and strategy, which had an impact on the tender process. In the main, the reasons for multiple retractions and re-advertising were as follows:

In light of the cash-flow challenges and the drive to significantly reduce operational costs around 2013, SAAT resolved to review its major supplier contracts. These contracts include the Component support (specified contract), logistics and Aircraft tyre supply contracts. SAAT was considering negotiating for discounts and/or taking an integrated approach to awarding the said contracts.

Management had therefore requested the board to extend the contracts and delay the RFP process to provide an opportunity for the business to align the scope of the combined services to the Long-Term Strategy (LTTS); also to consider a number of smart solutions available within the global MRO industry.

Initially, SAAT’s objective was to pursue an integrated solution to the components Support and Logistics/shipping costs in order to not only reduce costs of the individual contracts but to also derive benefits out of scale discounts through joint procurement. In addition to which, SAAT would also pursue localisation as part of the award of the Tyre Supply contract.

Around April 2013, there were discussions about a possible merger between SAAT and SA Express MRO, and a possibility of Denel Aviation lagging behind. A turnaround strategy document was drafted for discussion. Because of this, an original extension on the Component support agreement was granted until the end of March 2014, the period, which the potential merger was envisaged to have been finalized.
Management requested the board to allow the Supply Chain Management (SCM) team to test the market so as to understand what are the normal prices on the market for component tender. SAAT has had a contract with Air France all along, as a result the only pricing the company understood was that by Air France, which was far more expensive that what was out on the market. The cost compression initiative was already applicable in this period therefore, SCM was obligated to obtain as much savings as possible from this tender to reach their target.

The request for extension was made to the board, and SCM only offered to extend the contract with Air France after they agreed to give SAAT a discount of 400 000 USD. This amount contributed towards the Cost compression

Furthermore the retraction was effected as a risk mitigation measure on the part of SAAT to ensure that preferred bidder is able to deliver on the contracted services.

Cardo, Dr MJ to ask the Minister of Finance

Why did the National Treasury grant full exemption from the provisions of the Public Finance Management Act, Act 1 of 1999, to a certain company (FOSKOR) until 31 October 2019?

Reply:

The main reason is because Foskor is one of the Industrial Development Corporations’ (IDC) subsidiaries and in direct competition with private sector companies that are not required to provide reports such as Corporate Plans and Quarterly Reports. Compliance with the PFMA reporting requirements would require introduction of additional processes at a cost to companies already in financial distress.

The second reason was to afford Foskor an opportunity to compete evenly in an open market with other private companies in terms of the pace at which they could undertake certain transactions e.g. Section 54(2) of the PFMA transactions such as acquisition and disposal of assets that require approval of the executive authority; Section (7)(2) regarding opening of bank accounts after compliance with any prescribed tendering procedures and Section 7(4) providing that the National Treasury may prescribe investment policies for public entities.

It is worth mentioning that with regards to reporting requirements, IDC was requested to submit its Corporate Plan with the consolidated financial projections of the internal subsidiaries (mini-group) and any subsidiary with a total asset value above the significance level of R500 million.

With regards to the transactions they undertake, IDC was requested to ensure that the mandate and performance of their subsidiaries are aligned with government development policies i.e. the National Development Plan (NDP), New Growth Path (NGP), and Industrial Policy Action Plan (IPAP).

Van Der Walt, Ms D to ask the Minister of Finance

With reference to the reply of the Minister of Public Service and Administration to question 2809 on 2 October 2017 and the announcement during the Budget Vote Speech on 24 February 2016 by the former Minister of Finance, Mr Pravin Gordhan, in which South Africans were informed that the Government will cut its wage bill by R25 billion over three years, (a) how does the total wage bill of the 2016-17 financial year compare to the 2015-16 financial year, (b) how does the first six months of the 2017-18 financial year compare with the first six months of the 2016-17 financial year and (c) what savings in the wage bill have been achieved due to austerity measures since this announcement for each financial year or part of it to date; (2) whether the Government is still on track in achieving its R25 billion savings on the wage bill in the specified period; if not, (a) why not and (b) what steps will he take to ensure that the targeted savings are achieved; if so, what are the relevant details; (3) what percentage of the Government’s total expenditure for the 2017-18 financial year was allocated to wages?

1. (a) The wage bill has increased by 8.1 per cent between 2015/16 and 2016/17 financial years.

2 Revised estimate

(b) Wage bill information for the first six months of 2017/18 shows that the wage bill has increased by 7.4 per cent compared to the first half of 2016/17.

(c) Wage bill reductions amounting to R25 billion were effected in 2017/18 (R10 billion) and 2018/19 (R15 billion). Assessment of savings for 2017/18 will only be possible at the end of the financial year.

2. Preliminary indications based on 2017/18 first half compensation spend are that government is broadly on track to achieving targeted savings on compensation budgets. A few national and provincial departments are, however, showing signs of excess pressures on their compensation budgets. The National Treasury will continue monitoring implementation of compensation budgets during the current financial year.

3. The share of total budget for 2017/18 allocated to compensation of employees is 33.5 per cent.
