SHERIFF'S VISIT TO GAUTENG HEALTH
Friday, 21 November 2014
Today, Friday 21 November 2014, the sheriff of Johannesburg came to the offices of the Gauteng Department of Health with the intention to remove state property.
However; when, together with the Sheriff, the department verified the outstanding claims it was confirmed that these were paid.
The Department had on numerous occasions written to the sheriff to seek clarity on the outstanding claims, with no response. When this morning the sheriff eventually brought details of the claims, it was confirmed that most of these had already been paid.
An amicable resolution was reached and the department requested that the lines of communications be always open between all parties concerned in the interest of the claimants - the patients. The department is also reconciling all outstanding claims with a view to make payments as early as next week.
