Thank you. Deputy Minister, pillar three of the health compact deals with the acquisition of resources for health, medicines, machinery, personnel, etc. Limpopo province has only one oncology unit for the entire province. A recent visit there showed that the radiation machine has broken down so often that some people's radiation treatment is now six to eight weeks behind. During the same visit we saw that there were no first-line drugs available for colon cancer or breast cancer for the medical oncology unit.
Can the Minister please tell us what is going to be done to uplift and procure decent resources for the treatment of cancer, particularly in light of the fact that there has been a 30% increase over the last couple of years in the reporting of cancer patients?
