KZN Oncology crisis: Minister Motsoaledi must place KZN department under administration
6 November 2017
The DA will submit an application in terms of the Promotion of Access to Information Act (PAIA) to the Department of Health, to gain access to the letter with recommendations that the Minister of Health, Dr. Aaron Motsoaledi sent to the KZN Premier, Willies Mchunu.
The DA is gravely concerned with Health Minister, Dr Aaron Motsoaledi’s refusal to place the severely failing KZN Health Department under administration, following the oncology crisis and the chronic lack of accountability for the unnecessary loss of lives.
In a reply to the DA’s oral question, the Minister stated that he will not place the KZN Health Department under administration.
The DA rejects this without question and will continue fighting for the National Health Department to urgently intervene as it has become clear that the KZN Health Department cannot correct itself.
