. The Department must prioritise the filling of vacancies within the Inspectorate and Enforcement Services and the entities. . Given the amount of work that has been transferred to labour centres, due to decentralisation of services from the head office, the Committee recommends that resources, i.e. both human and financial should be transferred to these centres in order to provide best possible services to the people. The Committee recommends that the department should appear before the Committee in order to provide details on how the department proposes to address challenges faced by the labour centres. Furthermore, the Committee recommends that the Director-General and the Minister should commence regular meetings with their counterparts from the Department of Public Works in order to fast-track the construction of labour centres.
