16. Delayed implementation of legislation and policy priorities. The Department indicated that it may need to reprioritise the implementation of approved legislation and polciy priorities, including the the National Register for Sexual Offenders esablished in terms of the Criminal Law (Sexual Offences and Related Matters) Amendment Act, the Child Justice Act, Victim's Charter, the one-stop child justice centres and the Protection of Personal Information Bill (once enacted)) in order to address the financial pressures. The Committee, however, does not support this repriotitisation. With the exception of the Protection of Personal Information Bill, the legislation and policies address the needs of the most vulnerable and are a priority. Nor does the Committee agree that the legislation that will establish a framework for the protection of protection of personal information, once enacted, should be delayed - the legislation creates a framework that gives effect to the constitutional right to privacy and, in addition, will contribute to improved IT governance in South Africa, with corresponding positive implications for effective and efficient systems and, ultimately, for improved service delivery.
