9 December 2022
Note to editors: Please find attached soundbite by Michele Clarke MP.
The Department of Health owes more than R3 306 151 427,65 in outstanding accruals across six of the provinces.
This, as well as the fact that these provinces had failed to pay 1 750 service providers, was revealed by the Minister of Health, Dr Joe Phaahla, in answer to a written parliamentary question from the DA.
The outstanding accruals is likely much more as the Gauteng, Northern Cape and Mpumalanga failed to provide the necessary information.
