With regards to the performance of the NHI conditional grant, the Council pointed out a number of factors that were hampering the rollout of the grant. The budget allocations for the NHI were deemed inadequate for visible and meaningful demonstration of the various components of NHI and there were challenges such as lack of delegations to teams managing NHI Pilot sites and Supply Chain Management issues. The Council suggested that the NHI conditional grant be changed from a Schedule 5 to a Schedule 7 grant.
