The Department deemed it critical to request National Treasury to hold the funding earmarked for provincial health departments for H1N1; ART and 2010 World cup at National level, to ensure that the funds are utilized for intended purposes. Procurement of goods and services will be done centrally in consultation with the provinces. 11

ADJUSTED ESTIMATES 2009/2010 The National Department shifted funds within programmes, mainly from Goods and services, after a thorough review and alignment as a result of the drive ( by the Finance Minister) to cut and save costs from travel & subsistence, conferencing as well as consultancy services. Identified funding was then moved to provide for new priority areas as per the new Ten Point Plan. 2015/10/2612
