(c)(i) Yes, South African Airways makes use of labour brokers in the following instances:

• Temporary Labour is used for specific projects and periods of peak demand, therefore highly seasonal. This is accordance with the SAA's policy decision to downsize permanent staffing to a core number and then to use part time labour through labour brokers to supplement manpower to cater with peak seasonal demand.

• Temporary Labour is sourced as part of the flexible workforce model, as this model has proven to be more cost effective in areas such as Cabin Crew, Cargo and Technical.

• The flexible staffing model approach gives SAA the flexibility to optimise its workforce utilisation in order to meet operational needs.

1241. Dr H C van Schalkwyk (DA) to ask the Minister for the Public Service and Administration:

(1) Whether the Financial Disclosure Framework will be applicable to non-designated employees in the near future; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details;

(2) whether any steps have been taken to charge Heads of Department for misconduct for noncompliance by not submitting financial disclosure forms of their senior managers to the Public Service Commission; if not, why not; if so, what steps? NW1583E

REPLY:

(1) The Financial Disclosure Framework (FDF) was first implemented for managers on salary level 15 and 16 in April 2000. In May 2001, the Financial Disclosure Framework was extended to all members of the Senior Management Service as a tool to promote transparency and accountability by identifying possible areas of conflict of interest. As part of the implementation of the FDF, a number of limitations with the Framework were identified, amongst them, the failure of the FDF to recognise other officials vulnerable to situations of conflict of interest. In this regard, the dpsa commenced with reviewing the current FDF to strengthen its application, monitoring and evaluation.

The review process led to revised proposals on the FDF which calls for an extension of the FDF to include middle managers, responsibility managers and all supply chain management officials. This proposal includes the deployment of ethics officers in departments to enforce and monitor the implementation of the FDF. The Revised FDF also proposes the establishment of ethics committees in departments to oversee the application of and compliance with the FDF.

(2) Since the extension of the Financial Disclosure Framework to members of Senior Management, a 100% compliance with the FDF for both national and provincial departments has not been received according to the report on managing conflict of interest through the financial disclosures issued by the Public Service Commission in 2007. In order to address non-compliance, the dpsa has issued letters to Heads of Department requesting them to (i) ensure that financial disclosure forms are submitted on time to the Public Service Commission, (ii) explain reason/s for non-compliance and (iii) provide steps that will be implemented to ensure compliance with the FDF and to discipline transgressors.

To date, no steps have been taken to charge Heads of Department with misconduct for non compliance by not submitting financial disclosure forms of senior managers to the Public Service Commission. Chapter 3, Section H of the Public Service Regulations stipulates that any designated official who fails to disclose his/her financial interests, or willfully provides incorrect or misleading details, is guilty of misconduct. Therefore, Heads of Department as part of their responsibilities should charge employees with misconduct for failing to disclose their interest. In the case of Heads of Department not submitting own or their department's financial disclosure forms, the Executive Authority must take the necessary action against the Head of the Department.

QUESTION 1237

Mr. A Louw (DA) to ask the Minister of Labour:

The DA notes with great interest that big State Owned Enterprises such as SAA make use of labour brokers.

1. Whether he has discussed his intention to outlaw labour brokers with state-owned enterprises (SOEs) and government departments that currently make use of their services; if not, why not; if so, what were the outcomes of such discussions in each case? .NW1579E

WRITTEN REPLY

I have not discussed any intentions about labour brokers with the State Owned Enterprises because the results of the study commissioned by the department of Labour on the extent of atypical forms of employment in South Africa were tabled at Nedlac in 2004.The State Owned Enterprises are aware of this because they are represented by their different constituencies at Nedlac.Discusions are currently taking place at Nedlac.

QUESTION FOR WRITTEN REPLY

QUESTION NUMBER 1235

DATE OF PUBLICATION: 11 SEPTEMBER 2009

Dr D T George (DA) to ask the Minister of Finance:

Whether the National Treasury has coordinated efforts with the Department of Economic Development on its plan to provide credit to the business sector by means of using private sector banks as intermediaries; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details? NW1577E

REPLY

The National Treasury is coordinating efforts with the Department of Economic Development, as well as the Presidency and the Department of Trade and Industry, to assist in implementing the Framework Agreement for South Africa's response to the international economic crises reached by the Nedlac constituencies in February 2009 and facilitated by the President.

The main aim of the project on the provision of credit to the business sector is to conclude and implement a collaborative agreement between the Development Finance Institutions and the commercial banks in pooling their resources to assist firms in distress in those sectors identified in the framework agreement. While this exercise is not intended for Government to provide credit through the banks, it seeks ways for commercial banks to utilise guarantees and other financial instruments provided by the Development Finance Institutions to maintain prudent credit extension to credit-worthy clients.

This collaborative agreement is intended to contain the following details:

(1) an amount of money will be pooled together to assist competent and sustainable companies suffering from short-term liquidity problems due to the current economic conditions.

(2) sectors that will be included in the Framework Agreement are clothing, textiles and footwear, mining, auto and capital equipment.

(3) the framework agreement will be guided by a set of principles for the registration process. Most of the above issues are still work in progress except for the sectors that will be included in the Framework Agreement as agreement has been on this. The negotiation exercise for the issues raised above is of a technical nature requiring agreement on issues such as the correct financing mechanisms from both sides to achieve an optimal mix of risk-sharing and / or risk mitigation, in a manner that leaves neither the
Development Finance Institution nor the commercial bank worse off. The ultimate agreement should have both the cost and risk implications for all parties.

For ease of reference a copy of the Framework Agreement is attached herewith as Annexure A.

(2) Whether consultants are used as a result of the lack of skills capacity among the highly paid senior managers; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so' what are the relevant details? NW1575E

REPLY:

(1) Yes, the Department makes use of consultants within the following areas Information Technology; Health Services; Internal Audit Co-source.

(a) With regard to IT: Consultants used within DCS are appointed by SITA. The department procures these services through SITA from Tender 569, which is the latest one being used within the government. Through this tender the department can either procure direct from the Service Provider listed on it or can procure through SITA.

· Companies currently providing resources though SITA at DCS are:

Bay Technologies – 1; bcIT - 5; DATAPROOF – 11; DRC – 1; ECLIPSE – 3; GijimaAst – 22; HIGHVELD – 8; ICBLUE – 5; KOBA – 2; MARS TECHNOLOGY – 1; MPAMBA 3; PRAXIS – 1; PYTRON – 9; RGBS – 13; SIMEKA – 4; TSS – 4.

· Number of ITConsultants: Systems Development – 56; Customer Relation Management – 22; National Contact Centre Project - 15

With regard to Health Services: 3 Consultants

(b) With regard to IT:

· Customer Relation Management R 11,711,310.87

· National Contact Centre Project R 12,793,689.90

With regard to Internal Audit Co-Source: R2 million

With regard to Health Services:

· Appointment of a service provider to conduct a feasibility study on pharmaceutical services – R140 000.00

· Appointment of a service provider to conduct a feasibility study on outsourcing of nutrition services – R1 148 162.40

(2) With regard to IT, the Department requested SITA to provide them with a solution in terms of their information technology requirements for their application projects and support thereof.

With regard to Internal Audit Co-Source: Section 38(1)(a)(ii) of the PFMA indicates that one of the responsibilities of the Accounting Officer is to ensure that the Department has and maintains "a system of internal audit under the control and direction of an audit committee complying with and operating in accordance with regulations and instructions prescribed in terms of sections 76 and 77" The purpose of appointing a co-sourced partner for Internal Audit is to assist the Internal Audit unit in delivering on their mandate within the Department of Correctional Services. The contract of the KPMG/SAB&T Consortium is for a period of two and a half years and started in October 2008. The Consortium is regarded as an extension of Internal Audit. Services are rendered to the DCS under the direction and leadership of the DCS' Chief Audit Executive. The Consortium is also required to as far as possible utilize staff from their offices as close as possible to the audit point, in order to limit costs to DCS. The Consortium provides their own computer equipment and software packages. Sufficient staff is available to perform multiple audits throughout the country. One of the requirements in the appointment was a skills transfer to the in-house staff members. DCS pays for resources utilized on a time and cost basis, using the published Tariffs for Audits done on behalf of the Auditor-General (as amended from time to time) plus VAT, as a maximum.

With regard to health services: Due to lack of internal capacity and/or skills the department took a decision to outsource food services based on the following reasons:

(a) Legislation and standards:

· The kitchens did not meet the requirements and standards as set out in the Occupational Health and Safety Act and other applicable legislation.

Human resource issues

· The shortage of manpower and overcrowding of prisons put a lot of strain and not only on the members but also on the facilities where kitchens had to provide meals for large crowds. This also affected the number of dining halls that had to be shared amongst the large number of different categories of inmates. The situation was further aggravated due to old structures where large numbers of inmates had to be served from one kitchen.

· Staff and inmates were not regularly tested medically, in accordance with health guidelines.

· Kitchens were not adequately staffed.

(b) Training issues

· Staff and inmates were not properly trained and staff training programmes specific to a catering environment were not in place.

(c) Infrastructural issues

· Kitchens were often in a poor state of repair.

· The department lacked no structured dedicated maintenance team is in place.

With regard to pharmaceutical services, The Department has been unable to recruit and retain pharmacists for the past ten years or more due to remuneration packages that are not lucrative to these professionals and poor working conditions. A Headhunting Framework for Pharmacists was approved in 2007 by the then Commissioner and its implementation has not yielded any positive improvements or results. The lack of adequate pharmacists has a negative impact on the quality of health care rendered to inmates and awaiting trial detainees due to delays in accessing treatment by those requiring treatment, losses due to limited implementation of medication control measures and limited means in meeting appropriate standards of quality, safety and efficacy of medication (essential drugs).A service provider was subsequently appointed in 2008 to assist in finding the most suitable option to improve access to quality, safe and efficient medication (essential drugs) to offenders. The final report is receiving management's decision.
