Ms D Kohler-Barnard (DA) to ask the Minister of Police:
(1) Whether the vetting process of the Hawks has started; if not, why not; if so, (a) how many members of the Hawks have been through the vetting process and (b) what are the reasons for the delay since 20 May 2009 in concluding the process;
(2) whether any action has been taken against those responsible for the vetting process to ensure that it is expedited; if not, why not; if so, what action?
NO835E
REPLY:
(1) Yes, the vetting process for the Hawks has started.
(1)(a) The vetting process formally commenced on 12 June 2009. It was only on this date that procedures were put in place to subject all former DSO investigators who had elected to transfer to the SAPS as well as SAPS employees based at Organised Crime, Commercial Crime as well as the High Technology Project Centre, to vetting procedures. A total of 2 187 employees have submitted applications for security screening in the prescribed format.
(1)(b) There is no delay in concluding the process. The Crime Intelligence Division is currently considering the applications and will issue the clearance certificates once they have completed the vetting process. As it was decided that the level of security clearance for the Hawks will be top secret, the process is more time-consuming than that of confidential or secret clearance. A total of 118 members already have top secret clearances and they have been issued with provisional appointment letters to the Hawks, subject to final selection to the Directorate.
(2) No, it was not necessary to take any steps against those responsible for the vetting process of the Hawks as the responsible Component has prioritized the vetting of applicants for the Hawks.

"730. Mr P F Smith (IFP) to ask Minister of Science and Technology:
(a) How many of the current cohort of full-time equivalent (FTE) research in (i) science (ii) engineering and (iii) technology are expected to retire over the next five years, (b) what will the impact of this retirement be in specific fields of science, engineering and technology, (c) what recruitment and training plans does she have to deal with the imminent loss, (d) what are the target numbers of the new FTE researchers entering service during the next five years and (e) what is the linkage per field or sector between these numbers and of those expected to be retiring?" NW656E
REPLY
(a). The Department of Higher Education and Training (DoHET) defines an FTE researcher as any staff member of a higher education institution spending 50% and more of his/her time on research. The annual National Survey for Research and Experimental Development (R&D) uses the Frascatti OECD manual to estimate the amount of time spent on research activities to define a full-time equivalent researcher.
The average retirement age for higher education staff is 65 years even though some institutions make exceptions and have retention strategies to utilise retirees expertise beyond this age. The recent preliminary data (HEMIS, 2008) on a total of 15 936 Permanent Instructional and Research Professionals within the Higher Education sector shows that 1 005 are aged 59 and above and could therefore retire in the next 5 years; this represents 6.3% of the total 15 936 Permanent Instructional and Research Staff in the higher education sector.
Based on the evidence that nearly half of the research Masters and PhD graduates in 2008 were in SET areas, it would be fair to assume that half of all the Research staff in higher education institutions is in SET.
(b). As mentioned above, 6,3% (1 005) of the total Instructional and Research staff will retire in the next 5 years. Close to half of the 1 005 (i.e. 504) permanent instructional and research staff who will retire in the next 5 years are Professors and Associate Professors, which translates to 3.2% of total Instructional and Research Staff and 13,6% of the Professorial and Associate Professorial cohort. The latter is the group which is assumed to be producing a lot of research outputs due to its rank. The staff at Senior Lectureship level aged 59 and below forms 23.5% of the total Instructional and Research Staff. In absolute terms there are 3 744 staff members younger than 59 years with the potential to replace the 59 years and above retiring cohort in the higher rank. It can therefore be concluded that the retiring cohorts are significantly smaller than cohorts of researchers who may serve as replacements. In other words, the rate of retirement is smaller than the rate of replenishment of retirees.
(c). Even though it has been made clear that the impact of the loss of researchers due to retirement will not severely affect the higher education system, there is a strong need to increase the number of full-time researchers. Therefore, an emphasis has to be placed on increasing the pool of doctoral graduates in the country. It is encouraging to note that the average annual growth rate of doctoral graduations has been 6.1% between 2004 (1 087) and 2007 (1 274) and the average annual masters graduation growth rate has been 8,3% during the same period.
In increasing the pool of doctoral graduates in the country, the Department of Science and Technology in collaboration with the former Department of Education, has put in place a number of instruments aimed at increasing the quantity and quality of highly skilled researchers and scientists in the National System of Innovation.
The South African Research Chairs Initiative (SARChI) is a flagship project aimed at attracting high level researchers from outside the South African higher education sector and from abroad, and is also aimed at enabling higher education academics to focus more on research than teaching. The initiative has awarded a total of 82 Research Chairs thus according these researchers a full-time equivalent researcher status. Of the 82 Research Chairs awarded, 19 Research Chairs are new into the Higher Education sector thus constituting additional research capacity within these institutions. The number of post-graduate students supported under SARChI has grown to 408 in 2009 having risen from 59 in 2007.
The Centres of Excellence (CoEs) programme has created research network platforms where seasoned researchers across disciplines and institutions have collaborated to leverage the knowledge production and students training functions. A total of seven Centres of Excellence have been established, which has led to an unprecedented level of the development of a pool of post graduate students with a potential to feed into the country's Full Time Researchers. The number of post-graduate students supported under the CoEs programme rose from 126 in 2004 to 395 in 2008.
In addition, the different higher education institutions have developed and implemented Staff Development Programmes aimed at fast-tracking PhD qualification attainment by staff. Efforts at this level are encouraging as the proportion of Instructional and Research staff with PhDs has risen from 30,3%, 32,6% and 32,8 in the years 2005, 2006 and 2007 respectively.
(d). The National Human Resources Development Strategy (2008) has a target of 1.7 FTE researchers per 1 000 total employment in five years' time (i.e. 2013) and the Ten Year Innovation Plan (2007) projects 2.5 FTE Researchers per 1 000 employed by 2018. To achieve this, it is projected that the number of PhD graduations per year will reach 3 000 by 2018 with an enhanced potential to increase the Full Time researchers. As stated before, there are 1.5 Full Time researchers per 1000 of total employed according to the 2006/7 National Survey of Research and Experimental Development.
(e). From the data presented in response to the above questions, it is clear that the rate of replenishment is more that the retirement rate and that therefore, the impact of retiring researchers might be very small. The main concern is whether the replenishment rate is such that it will keep up with the demands of the research workforce in certain sectors and disciplines bearing in mind the rate at which the economy has been growing, bar the recent shrinkages in economic growth.

11731. Mr P F Smith (IFP) to ask the Minister of Science and Technology:
Whether a cost-benefit analysis has been undertaken of state-funded expenditure In respect of the science and technology sector, If so, when and what were the findings; If not whether such a study will be undertaken; If not, why not; If so what are the relevant details?"
REPLY:
Although the Department of Science and Technology (DST) did not undertake a cost-benefit analysis In Its strictest sense, It does obtain Information about the cost or expenditure of state-funded science and technology activities from various sources. For Instance, as new projects are proposed, evaluations are conducted to determine what value government Investment in such projects would hold. At another level, DST works with its partners to produce the annual survey on Research and Experimental Development (R&D survey), which presents the aggregated estimates of R&D expenditure by government, higher education Institutions, the private sector and the non-profit sector. The DST also complies reports on publicly funded scientific and technological activities which provide a holistic view of science and technology spending by government.
Public funding for scientific and technological activities for 2007/08 Is estimated to be R9.7 billion. This figure would necessarily include public funding for research and development (R&D), which the 2006/07 National Research and Experimental Development Survey estimates to be R5.6 billion. A large portion of these funds is directed towards R&D performed by science councils and higher education Institutions. The R&D performed in government departments in 2006 was just above R1 billion.
A separate study was conducted to track the benefits of public funding on science and technology during 2008/09. Initial findings are that South Africa is reaping the benefits of its public investment in R&D. which are In line with the benefits derived from such spending by other countries. for instance through the generation of new knowledge, industry efficiency, human resource capacity development, and contributions to Improved public service delivery in health, safety, transport, access to Information and other areas. The quantifiable Information regarding benefits for public R&D investment is currently well articulated at the level of specific interventions or projects, but Is not yet well collated at macro level. The DST is working on ways of improving the measurement of the Impact of science and technology.

132. Mr PF Smith (IFP) to ask the Minister of Science and Technology:
When will her department start measuring the contribution of Sciences and Technology to enhancing economic growth, competitiveness and productivity?"
REPLY:
The Department of Science and Technology (DST) currently measures the contribution of science and technology In various ways.
The DST produces regular reports on expenditure and Investment in science and technology, for example, the annual national surveys on research and experimental development and the reports on publicly funded scientific and technological activities. The DST has also set up a monitoring and evaluation capacity, which over time has collated Information about the outputs and effects of specific DST Interventions or projects.
These Initiatives are a necessary step towards measuring the contribution of science and technology at a macro-level and assessing Its Impact towards enhancing economic growth, competitiveness and productivity. Further work still needs to be done to develop a comprehensive methodology to conduct these measurements.
The DST Is currently exploring the feasibility of creating a satellite account that would report Investment in R&D and a variety of other Intangible assets. A satellite account would make it clear that treating research and development as an Investment would have a substantial Impact on GDP and other measures. It would lead to a better understanding of the importance of research and development to economic growth, productivity and International competitiveness.

Mr V B Ndlovu (IFP) to ask the Minister of Police:
(1) What is the reason for the substantial increase in the budget allocation for the 2009-10 financial year for the Legal Services Sub-programme in the Independent Complaints Directorate's Complaints Processing, Monitoring and Investigation Programme;
(2) why was there a decrease in the allocation in the previous year?
NW662E
REPLY:
(1) The reason for the increase in the budget for Legal Services was as a result of merging the Sub-Directorate Investigations component located at National Office, with the Directorate Legal Services. We identified the need to strengthen the Directorate: Legal Services as a result of the workload that was experienced. The Manager, who was the only person in the Sub-Directorate, is legally trained and qualified to discharge duties as a legal officer. The merger therefore resulted in the increased budget for the Directorate.
(2) The decrease in the previous financial year, 2008/2009, was due to the fact that Legal Services and the Sub-Directorate operated separately with each one being responsible for its own budget.

Mr E J Lucas (IFP) asked the Minister of Transport:
(1) Whether, in light of the problems that some bus companies experienced with regard to the payment of subsidies, his department will pursue measures to ensure the efficient and timely payment of subsidies; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details;
(2) whether a policy is in place to determine which companies or routes qualify for subsidies; if not, (a) why not and (b) what criteria are used to determine who qualifies for subsidies; if so, what are the relevant details?
NW689E
REPLY:
The Minister of Transport:
(1) To allow for more effective control of the subsidy expenditure, the Department of Transport and National Treasury converted the subsidy funding arrangement into a conditional grant to Provinces. This Public Transport Operations Grant was incorporated into the Division of Revenue Act, 2009 (Act No 12 of 2009). Incorporating the fund into the Division of Revenue Act would allow for improved oversight and monitoring, whilst compelling Provinces to manage bus contracts within available funds or to supplement accordingly. The Division of Revenue Act comprises of a payment schedule that stipulates when subsidies should be paid and both the transferring and receiving officer are to adhere strictly to the payment due dates as required in terms of the Act.
(2) (a) and (b)
The Department has published a Public Transport Strategy and Action Plan, which explains the strategic case for the transformation of the present subsidized commuter bus route contracts and subsidies into a more sustainable system of integrated road-based public transport networks. It also sets out procedures for achieving the restructuring of the subsidized contracts as the commuter bus industry becomes integrated into the new integrated public transport networks. Several cities and metros are already advanced in developing and designing these networks that will, amongst others, describe the criteria for allocating subsidies to operators.

Mr M Waters (DA) to ask the Minister of Health:
Whether all the provisions of the National Health Act, Act 61 of 2003, have been fully implemented; if not, (a) why not, (b) which provision has not been fully implemented, (c) at what stage is the implementation of each provision, (d) what amount has been allocated (i) in the 2009-10 financial year and (ii) in total so far towards its implementation, (e) what amount is it estimated the implementation will cost, (f) what is the optimal funding amount for the implementation of each provision and (g) when will the Act be fully implemented?
NW769EREPLY:
Section 11 of the National Health Act, 2003 (Act No. 61 of 2003)("the Act"), dealing with the provision of health services for experimental or research purposes has not been promulgated. The reason for non-promulgation is that we are still working on the regulations which we are finalizing after the draft was published for comment.
The entire Chapter 6 (sections 35 to 47 of the Act) dealing mainly with classification of health establishment, certificate of need, provision of health services in the public health establishment, clinics and community health centre committees, referrals from one establishment to another, and obligations of health establishment has not been promulgated. The reason for non-promulgation is also that we are still working on the regulations.
Sections 50 and 51 of the Act, dealing mainly with the establishment of Forum of Statutory Health Professional Councils, have not been promulgated. These sections are ready for promulgation but to avoid a proliferation of proclamations, we have decided that it will be proclaimed together with the others once the regulations have been finalized.
Sections 54 to 68 of the Act, dealing mainly with human tissue matters have not been promulgated. The reason for non-promulgation of these sections is that the regulations relating to them are still being finalized. Most of these regulations deal with highly technical scientific matters and as a result the Department is working with a team of experts (scientists) in stem cells and related matters. Some draft regulations have been drafted and some have already been published for public comments. The current activity involves the fine tuning of the said drafts, mainly from the scientific point of view.
Sections 77 to 79 of the Act, dealing with the establishment of Inspectorate for Health Establishment and Office of Standards Compliance as well as with inspections Office of Standards Compliance have not been promulgated. The reason for non-promulgation is that there are policy issues that we are still working on in relation to the accreditation of health facilities which must form part of this aspect of the Act.
The entire budget of the Department for 2009/2010 and for all subsequent final years is used to implement the Act. This includes all funds used in the coordination of the private health sector. In view of the above, the cost of implementing the Act cannot be quantified.

Mr J J McGluwa (ID) to ask the Minister of Home Affairs:
Whether her department will no longer issue smart card identity documents; if not, why not; if so, (a) when and (b) what are the further relevant details?
NW830E
REPLY
(a) & (b) No. The Smart Card Identity Document initiative remains one of the crucial plans of the Department. Cabinet mandated the Department of Home Affairs to replace the RSA National Identity Document with a Smart Identity Card (Smart ID Card). To this end, the Department initiated an open tender process for the supply of the Smart ID Card, which was managed by the State Information Technology Agency (SITA).
In the ensuing tender process, the Department was, subsequently, advised by SITA, in April 2009, that a forensic audit of the tender process was being carried out to investigate apparent irregularities. As at the end of August 2009, the Department had not been advised of the outcome of the forensic audit.
The Department has, since, cancelled the tender. Currently, we are in discussions with National Treasury to possibly allow us to start the process from scratch.

(3)(a) Yes, there are programs available to assist the survivors of these crimes, which are mainly the responsibility of the Victim Empowerment Program led by the Department of Social Development. It is recommended that the information required be requested from the Department of Social Development.
(3)(b) Yes, there are programs available to assist the perpetrators of Domestic Violence and Sexual Offences, even though they may have been convicted of such crimes. These mainly relate to diversion programs for offenders who have acknowledged responsibility, which are mainly run by Non-Governmental Organisations such as NICRO, the Restorative Justice Centre and Khulisa, overseen and monitored by the Department of Social Development's Probation Officers.
Certain Non-custodial Sanctions' Programs are also available, when vulnerable offenders are sentenced to suspended or postponed sentences on condition that they attend similar programs as those relating to diversion.
The Department of Correctional Services further has programs to rehabilitate and re-integrate offenders sentenced to imprisonment and correctional supervision.
It is recommended that details of these programs be requested from the Departments of Social Development and Correctional Services.
(4) As from 1 April 2009 to the end of June 2009, a total of 9 520 cases were diverted of which 4 070 comprised young offenders. According to the NPA, during 2007/08, 18 817 children were diverted from the mainstream criminal justice system, whilst in 2008/09, 17 628 children were diverted. A matter of concern is the decline of 8.8% of young offender diversions compared to the corresponding period during the previous financial year. The main reason appears to be the non-availability of accredited programmes throughout the country and the increasing availability of non-custodial sanctions' programmes.
I am advised that the Department of Social Development is in the process of developing the Diversion Accreditation Framework in terms of the provisions of the Child Justice Act, 2008 (Act No 75 of 2008), in order to provide for the accreditation of diversion programs and diversion service providers.

REPLY
I have been advised by the SABC as follow:-
- The estimated cost of the savings to be achieved cannot be determined as the Board has only been in office for less than two months. The savings will be calculated against budget but may not be an accurate reflection because with reduction in members from 12 to six for the term of the Interim Board, the comparison may not be accurate. Presently costs are only in respect of one member who travels weekly between Johannesburg and Cape Town.
- During the current financial year the Interim Board has not taken any trips overseas.
- The calculation of the Rand value of savings will be done against budget as the invitations are received and declined. To date no invitations have been received or declined.
