REPLY:
1) The Department has noted the renovation challenge raised by the
Honourable Member. The Department has planned to do renovations in all
existing clinics in KwaZulu/Natal. Due to budget constraints and a
number of clinics that have similar challenges, the renovation of the
Mabedlana Clinic was delayed.
2) Yes the Department will be renovating the Mabedlana Clinic and all
other clinics during the 2014/15 MTEF financial year. The Department
is currently running the technical facilities assessment to the level
of Bill of Quantity in order to know what type of work needs to be
done and at what cost.
END.
