5. The Bill amends section 66 of the principal Act and requires that national instructions and directives addressing manner in which officials of the South African Police Service, the National Prosecuting Authority and the Departments of Health and Social Development must carry out their responsibilities and duties in relation to designated sexual offences courts be prepared. These must be submitted to Parliament within six months of the relevant regulations are made. The Committee, however, is concerned at the length of time this may take and any related delays. It, therefore, urges the relevant functionaries to prepare the necessary instructions and directives in the meantime.
