Hon Deputy Speaker, hon Minister, thank you very much for the response. Hon Minister, in September 2018, President Cyril Ramaphosa announced government's economic stimulus and recovery plan. The plan speaks to among other things addressing the urgent and pressing matters in health by announcing that the Minister of Health and the National Health
Council will immediately fill 2 200 critical medical posts, including nurses and interns.
Now, Minister I want to check: How will the allocation of these critical medical posts address the vast landscape of the Northern Cape province; and how will this plan by the President result in improving quality of service received by the people of the Northern Cape and South Africa at large?
