2.2 The Province of KwaZulu-Natal The KwaZulu-Natal's Provincial Department of Health (PoKZN) reported that it was allocated R450 million for the Hospital Revitalization Grant and that the PoKZN had managed to spend R128 million (28 per cent) at the end of the third quarter of the 2009/10 financial year. The PoKZN reported that it had under-spent by R200 million at the end of the third quarter because the majority of its projects were delayed as a result of the inability to monitor projects owing to capacity constraints. The PoKZN further reported that it was the responsibility of the provincial department of Public Works to monitor these projects. The PoKZN added that if phase 1 of the project was delayed as argued above, the following phases are also delayed because they are dependent on the successful implementation of the initial phases. The PoKZN reported that the major contributing factors to under-spending were the lack of cooperation from the provincial department of Public Works and the slow services provided by the contractors. The example of the King George V Hospital was used by the PoKZB where the completion of this hospital was delayed due to a slow progress on the work done by a contractor. Furthermore, the PoKZN reported that the provincial department of Public Works had tender procurement delays for some projects which led to the delay of subsequent phases of the same project. The PoKZN cited the failure to adequately monitor the consultancy work during designs and documentation as the main reason for the delay of many projects and the resultant under-spending. The PoKZN admitted that it did not react to building defects timeously, and did not have dedicated project managers to follow up on tender documentation delays and variation orders.
