Deputy Speaker, I move without notice:
That the House -
1) notes that the Charlotte Maxeke Hospital in Johannesburg is the first hospital in South Africa to have its own school playground for chronically and terminally ill children and that the playground had been planned and designed by a panel of medical staff and specialists to take into account the physical frailties of the children, enabling them to continue learning and developing while in hospital;
2) further notes that ninety per cent of the school's pupils are in hospital because of cancer or liver failure;
3) commends the hospital school, which caters for children from Grade R to Grade 12, on this initiative and the excellent example set;
4) acknowledges that this achievement embraces public-private partnerships to the benefit of the people of South Africa; and
5) congratulates the Minister of Health, Gauteng's MEC for Health and Social Development, Ms Ronel van Biljon, principal of the Johannesburg Hospital School, and, the chairman and CEO of Medscheme.
Agreed to.
