At this stage, it is premature to approach National Treasury to lobby for additional funding for the remedial actions from the public protector. The matters of conditions of service for Clinical Associates have been presented to the Department of Public Service and Administration (DPSA) and are being considered as part of the wider process of the Personnel Expenditure Review exercise that includes the review of OSDs in the public sector. Engagement with National Treasury will subsequently be informed by the outcomes of the DPSA process.
