The Department of Health reported that the Health Infrastructure Grant had originally been part of the Infrastructure Grant to Provinces. It was transferred to the National Department of Health in the 2011/12 financial year by the National Treasury. It added that this conditional grant had numerous similarities to the Hospital Revitalisation Grant in that they both were infrastructure related conditional grants. Given these similarities, the National Department of Health was looking into the possibility of merging these two into one conditional grant in the 2013/14 financial year.
