Neither the Health Professions Training and Development Grant (HPTDG) nor the National Tertiary Services Grant (NTSG) in the Division of Revenue Act (DORA) makes provision to fund Higher Education Institutions, but rather funds hospitals under the Department of Health.
There is no allocation made to KwaZulu-Natal Medical School through either direct or indirect Conditional Grants transfers. This is due to the fact that there is currently no provision in any health sector conditional grant framework allowing the Health Department to fund the medical schools.
Medical Schools are funded from other funding streams, currently the Equitable Share.
END.
