R6bn needed to fix 32 Gauteng hospitals to be safety compliant

[schumi]

Gauteng hospitals are in such bad condition that it will cost about R6bn to make them compliant with the Occupational Health and Safety Act.

Democratic Alliance Gauteng health spokesperson Jack Bloom said the poor state of the 32 hospitals meant that none of them can be part of government’s National Health Insurance as they needed to be accredited by the Office of Health Standards Compliance.

Bloom said the amount of R6bn was revealed in a presentation by the Gauteng health department to the Gauteng legislature’s health committee on Friday.

Yeah right.

The real price would be around R1b the rest is for the cadres to pocket.

Another good story to tell.

Go check with Eskom, they're flush with bailout money. Maybe get some more from SAA. Seeing as working hospitals are much more valuable than a "national carrier".

But wait, I dont see anything wrong. This was/is the plan all along no? For state hospitals not to be part of the NHI and thus we all get to go to current private hospitals under NHI?

Throw enough money at it and some will fall in the bucket.
