Personnel expenditure
Only 198 of the targeted 231 posts were filled by Q3 because Forensic Pathology skills is a scarce resource.
Infrastructure
On average, of the 5 contracts under construction, 80% of the contract time has lapsed and yet only 50% of the contract value has been spent. The cost drivers namely air-conditioning, cold rooms and refrigerated units and all the specialised equipment are only installed near the end.
A month of contract time has been lost due to inclement weather.
The Department is currently validating a claim from National Public Works for work undertaken on emergency repairs to the value of R5,4 million. This claim will be settled before financial year-end.
Reports
All reports and submissions for 2007/8 have been submitted to the National Department of Health.

10. HIV and AIDS Grant District management = HC 2010 process
CBS = Above target (discrepancy due to definition of Cat 3 patients –improve Info Max) (Still to be developed)

11. HIV and AIDS Grant
The current under-spending at the end of 3rd quarter is mainly due to a time-lag in the transfer payments to Non-Government Organizations and claims to the City of Cape Town. These transactions presently reside in the Assets and Liabilities accounts and will be cleared to Voted Funds in the 4th quarter.
There is an under-expenditure in Personnel costs as vacant posts have not been filled. Vacant posts are, however, being filled with Agency reflecting thus under Goods and Services.
The Goods and Services budget will be spent at year end. The present trend reflects that there will be increased expenditure in the 4th quarter.
All monthly and quarterly reports for 2007/08, to date, have been submitted to the National Department of Health.

12. Hospital Revitalization Program (HRP) Grant and Infrastructure Grant to the Province (IPG)
District management = HC 2010 process
CBS = Above target (discrepancy due to definition of Cat 3 patients –improve Info Max) (Still to be developed)

13. Hospital Revitalization Grant and Infrastructure Grant to the Province
All projects are monitored in terms of cost and status via a monthly progress control meeting between the Departments of Health and Transport and Public Works.
Projects are also monitored via Treasury’s quarterly infrastructure reports, as well as monthly financial reports for both HRP and IGP.
HRP has a function responsible for monitoring and evaluation of projects as prescribed by the National Department of Health.
HRP submits monthly and quarterly reports to the National Department of Health.
It is projected that both IGP and HRP spending will break even at year end.
