1. STANDING COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS ON THE APPROPRIATION BILL
PRESENTATION TO THE
STANDING COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS
ON THE APPROPRIATION BILL
13 April 2011

2. INTRODUCTION
The Public Service Commission (PSC) is an institution created by the Constitution and vested with a custodial oversight responsibility for the Public Service.
The PSC has been requested to brief the Committee on the capacity of government departments to spend budgets allocated according to their business plans and annual performance plans.
In providing comment, it should be noted that the annual reports and financial statements of departments in respect of the 2010/11 financial year have not yet been published.
However, trends in performance in public administration will provide the Committee with adequate information to decide whether departments are geared to take on the new budget provided for in the Appropriation Bill. 2

3. INTRODUCTION (cont)
This presentation provides an overview of some key focus areas in the following national departments over the medium term:
Education
Health
Justice and Constitutional Development
Correctional Services
South African Police Services
Rural Development and Land Reform
These departments were identified due to their responsibility in respect of the five priorities of government, namely education, health, creation of decent work, rural development, food security and land reform and fight against crime and corruption.

4. EDUCATION
With effect from the 2010/11 financial year, the Department of Education was split into the Departments of Basic Education and Higher Education and Training. The information with effect from the 2010/11 financial year will therefore be in respect of the Department of Basic Education.

52. CONCLUSTION
This presentation has highlighted red flags that impact on the performance of the various departments in respect of key issues.
An assessment of departments’ readiness to take up the new budget will be much more involved, and will, amongst others, take into consideration the strategic interventions in place in such departments to pursue their mandate.
The PSC trusts that the information highlighted in this presentation will enable the Standing Committee to make more informed decisions.

53. THANK YOU
