Thank you very much hon member. Indeed, we have done the inventory of infrastructure in the whole country. This is probably the second time in twenty years it was done. We can actually account for each and every hospital or clinic right from the floor to the walls, to roof, to the electric connections, to the plumbing, to the doors, to the ablution facilities, to the theatres, and literally everything we can actually account for it.
The reality is that there is currently when I mentioned in this House that we need a creative mechanism to finance the upgrading of the structure I meant precisely because we have that figure. We have the figure and we have the numbers that need to be upgraded in the whole country and therefore the team between National Treasury and the National Health Department are looking at mechanisms to fast track the refurbishment and replacement of those facilities within the next to five to seven years.
I did indicate that as far as we are concerned it is feasible. We just have to make sure that the work is completed and then we will give you a proper report, but we actually checked each and
every facility. It is not the first time. In 1998, when it was done, it could have cost this country R28 billion to actually revamp literally every facility. We have a new figure and I won't announce it now but at the right time we will actually give you the figure. Thank you.
