- The current reflection of under-spending is
mainly due to a lag in the transfer payments to
Non-Government Organizations. These are being
addressed. - There is presently an under-expenditure in
Personnel costs as all the vacant posts have not
been filled, however, should all the posts be
filled this would result in an over expenditure
by the year end. - The price of drugs have decreased resulting in a
saving in Goods and Services costs - All monthly and quarterly reports for 2007/08 to
date have been submitted to the National
Department of Health.

- All projects are monitored in terms of cost and
status via a monthly progress control meeting
between the Departments of Health and Transport
Public Works. - Projects are also monitored via Treasurys
quarterly infrastructure reports, as well as
monthly financial reports for both HRP and IGP. - HRP has a function responsible for monitoring and
evaluation of projects as prescribed by National
Department of Health. - HRP submits monthly and quarterly reports to
National Department of Health. - Projections indicate that IGP will break even and
that HRP will overspend for the current financial
year. A request for front-loading on next years
budget has been made to Treasury which will
alleviate the over expenditure on HRP. - The projected over expenditure is mainly due to
some essential variations required on the
projects at Worcester and Paarl Hospitals and the
fact that very good momentum is maintained on
both projects.
