There was an increase in the allocation of conditional grants to provinces. This increase was attributable to the increased allocations for the Comprehensive HIV and AIDS Grant, and the National Tertiary Services Grant. The DoH reported that three Schedule 4 grants would be allocated to provinces to supplement the functions funded from provincial budgets. These are the Health Professional Training and Development Grant and the National Tertiary Services Grant (both of which are nationally assigned functions to the provinces); the Health Infrastructure Grant and the Forensic Pathology Grant. The Forensic Pathology Grant would be phased out in the 2012/13 financial year and would thereafter be included in the Provincial Equitable Share allocations.
