Joburg hospital psychiatric ward delayed yet again and cost triples
7 June 2017
The much-needed renovation of the psychiatric ward at the Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Hospital has been delayed yet again by more than a year and the cost has more than tripled to R34 million.
This was disclosed yesterday by Gauteng Health MEC Gwen Ramokgopa in an oral reply to my questions in the Legislature.
The MEC stated that the contractor had exceeded the variation order by more than 20% and was terminated.
