Hon Chairperson, on behalf of the Select Committee on Social Services allow me to table its Report on the National
Public Health Institute of South Africa known as NAPHISA Bill 16(b) of 2017. The Bill was referred to the Select Committee on Social Services by the Portfolio Committee on Health on 28 August 2018. From that date, the Select Committee on Social Services received a briefing. We had public hearings after briefing the provinces.
On 26 February 2019, the select committee met to consider the final mandates on the National Public Health Institute of South Africa Bill 16(b) of 2017. On the day, hon Chair, allow me to indicate that written final mandates that we received were seven and I also want to indicate that we did receive verbally a support from Limpopo. The only outstanding written mandate was in Gauteng.
As a committee, we therefore supported the National Public Health Institute of South Africa Bill 16(b) of 2017 with the amendments made after the public hearings. I so table the Report for the Council consideration. [Applause.]
Debate concluded.
