Poor condition of facilities The Department acknowledged that the psychiatric patients were expected to move to the new Nkhensani Hospital; these were in the initial plans. However, due to time and other constraints, there were more problems than anticipated. Problems included plumbing, poor workmanship etc. This resulted in the ward for psychiatric patients not being built, and alternative arrangements for their care to be made at the Evuxakeni Hospital which is part of the hospital revitalization programme.
