. The Department's expenditure grew from R13.6 billion in 2007/2008 to R23.1 billion in 2010/2011 at an average annual rate of 19.4%. . Over the Medium Term period, expenditure is expected to grow to R30.1 billion, at an average annual rate of 9.2%. . The increase in 2007 and 2008 periods is driven largely by transfers to provinces for the conditional grants, with the main increase being on the HIV and AIDS and the Revitalisation of Hospitals Grants, while the National Tertiary Services Grant (NTSG) increased significantly in the MTEF period. . The Forensic Pathology Services Grant will be phased out in the 2012/2013 financial year and has therefore been included in the provincial equitable share allocations. . The budget includes new allocations of R442 million for 2011/2012, R692 million for 2012/2013 and R2.2 billion for 2013/14.
