DA calls for report on finances of Durban & Coastal Mental Health to be released
8 October 2021
The Democratic Alliance (DA) in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) today calls on the province’s MECs for Social Development and Health to immediately release the report into the state of finances at the Durban & Coastal Mental Health (DCMH).
The document, into the financial affairs of the non-profit organisation (NPO), was commissioned by both Departments following reports that it was staring into the abyss of bankruptcy.
The DA is aware that this report has been completed and that it is with the Departments at present. Despite this, all our requests for the document have been met with a stony silence.
The crisis at DCMH – which through its various homes cares for more than 600 000 patients annually – is a sickening shame given its proud 80-year history.
