HOSPITAL REVITALIZATION GRANT. • To provide funding to enable provinces to plan, manage, modernise, rationalise and transform the infrastructure, health technology, organizational management & development and monitoring and evaluation of hospitals in line with national policy objectives.
HOSPITAL REVITALIZATION (cont) • The balance of the allocation against expenditure amounts to 25%. • An amount of R25m has been processed for payment to the implementing agent already. • The expenditure will be incurred as soon as transfers from NDoH is received. • The full amount of R25,350m has been requested for a roll over from the provincial Treasury.
HOSPITAL REVITALIZATION (cont) • Capacity challenges: • Human Resource capacity both within and with implementing agents. • Incapacity of some consultants and small emerging contractors to handle projects with the required competencies.
Medico Legal Mortuaries • Progress: • The Programme has the costed operational plan for the year and the necessary staff structure has been finalised. • All facilities have been audited and are in the process of being upgraded.
Medico Legal Mortuaries • Challenges: • The funds from the conditional grant of the Programme were only received in December 2005. Achievements: • Commitments for equipment. • Posts advertised already. • Approved business plan.
SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENTS/ BUSINESS PLANS. • A Service Level Agreement is in place between the Departments of Health and Public Works. • Business plans have been forwarded to NDoH for all the conditional grants and awaiting approval. • Transfers from NDoH have been received of all Conditional Grants during the month of April 2006.
VARIENCE REPORT • The ratio 70/30 was used to purchase ambulances and patient transport. • The variance of R4,487 was earmarked for mobile clinics which could not be delivered before the end of the financial year. • The procurement will therefore have to be made in the new financial year.
VARIENCE REPORT cont… • The R9.8 million was used to purchase the 18 ambulances and 14 planned patient transport. • The budget for Office furniture was transferred to Public Works however, Public Works could not supply the Department due to insufficient allocation. • Medical equipment were purchased for programs 2 – District Health Services and Program 4 – Provincial Hospital Services.
VARIENCE REPORT cont… • The variance of R7 million will be rolled over into the current financial year to enable the Forensic Pathology Services to purchase mortuary vehicles. • Also the variance of R2.8 million for conditional grants under program 8 - equipment for clinics would be rolled over into the current budget. • The variance on other equipment is due to committed orders which had to be cancelled due to delivery after March 31st.
CONCLUSION • The Department is confident that systems are now in place to monitor the performance of conditional grants in line with DORA hence the improved outcome for the 2005/06 financial year.
CONCLUSION CONT!! • We will work closely with the CIDB (Construction Industry Development Board) to use their classification of contractor competence, in appointment of contractors.
