Thank you, House Chairperson. The button is working and it was timeous. [Laughter.]
I just have a question directed to the Minister of Health, namely that I hope those involved in the revitalisation of hospitals and infrastructure are just as timeous in ensuring that these grants are utilised. We welcome the fact that this additional money has been made available for hospital revitalisation. The performance audit report of the Auditor-General on infrastructure leaves a lot to be desired, Mr Minister, in terms of the ability of many of these provinces to utilise these grants.
What I would like to know, through you, Chair, is what kind of stricter controls are going to be put in place so that those provinces that do not spend this money will have the money taken away from them? Although I did say that, it is not a solution, because people will suffer. What is the national Department of Health going to do to ensure that all our people have access to the same kind of medical care in terms of infrastructure?
