* The department was once managed by Treasury which was one of the reasons there was a delay in the filling of posts which resulted in a backlog. * There were restrictions due to budget constraints * There were long delays in filling of posts like cleaners and others. The management also mentioned that they had a meeting two weeks ago to prioritise posts and some personnel categories were outsourced but were going to absorb them. * The hospital lifts were very old and they could no longer get parts. The management mentioned that they have issued a tender to replace all the lifts in April and the tender was approved. The Hospital was going to start with the replacement in August 2010.
