Chairperson, we have acknowledged that steps which are much more decisive need to be taken to assure the public of quality services throughout the health system, especially in the public health system. Indeed, clinics and primary health care facilities are included in this regard.
We have a monitoring system at the national level which is also assisting us in this regard. We have shared this monitoring system with the MECs for Health of all provinces, and we will be standardising the monitoring system. In addition, there are regular visits by senior management and us to ensure that we have first-hand experience, something to which I alluded earlier on.
I must say that the experience so far is that there is a mixed situation, and where we need to intervene we immediately take steps to ensure that the provinces do intervene. Where we need to support the provinces, especially in areas that are geographically vast, we also look at how we can work with provinces to ensure that all our primary health care facilities provide quality, reliable health care at all times. Thank you.
