While the NHLS has achieved most of these objectives, such as the consolidation and strengthening of laboratory services infrastructure and improvement in access, and offers high-quality teaching, training and research structures, its overall leadership and governance and financial issues created some challenges. This then necessitated the amendment of this current amendment before us. It also addresses the issue that the hon Thembekwayo raised - that of the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act of 2000. When this Bill was passed, that framework was not there. So, this Bill tries to address that matter, as well.
