These priorities are supported by a government strategy which includes the shifting of resources to labour intensive sectors of the economy. Furthermore, government will strive to improve State performance with specific regard to the delivery of services to the poor. In the light of the current budget pressures, the Committee is of the view that limited resources should be utilised to produce maximum output, without compromising the quality of services. The fiscal framework makes an addition of R78 billion to the baseline budget. A substantial share of this budget is allocated to provinces for health and education. This increase in provincial baselines is intended to finance health and education for salary increases as well as the Occupational Specific Dispensation (OSD). Other resources are allocated for antiretroviral treatment, workbooks for early phases of schooling and housing programmes. Infrastructure programmes including the Municipal Infrastructure Grant (MIG) received an additional allocation. The additional budget to national departments will finance the child support grant, rural development, the criminal justice sector as well as industrial development and job creation. The consolidated expenditure of government is expected to be R841.4 billion, and R1 052.8 billion in 2009.10 and 2012/13 financial years, respectively.
