The presentation of the Eastern Cape Department of Health (Provincial Department) focused on the success of the Department to date, expenditure as at the end of the 2011/12 financial year, budget cuts for over the Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) period, implications of the budget cuts, structural weakness of the Provincial Fiscal Framework, improving Health Infrastructure Investment and recommendations. The Committee has however requested the Provincial Department to focus on the issues pertaining to the under spending on the Hospital Revitalisation and Health Infrastructure Grants that could not be responded to during the Committee oversight visit in June 2012.
