Gauteng freezes all hospital posts
8 March 2018
The Gauteng Health Department has informed state hospitals that all appointments of new personnel are frozen “due to the ever-increasing over-expenditure on the compensation of employees budget.
This is despite the large increase in the Health budget that was announced this week from R41.9 billion to R46.4 billion.
Hospital managers are informed that “a decision has been taken to sternly monitor the filling of posts in all facilities”.
All posts that are currently in the process of being filled are to be put on hold even where interviews have already been conducted.
